What should I upgrade next?

[MrCodeDude]

XP 2000+
SK-7 w/ 80mm fan
ECS K7S5A
512MB PC2100
64MB GeForce3 Ti200
80GB HD

I have another 80GB HD that will be installed soon enough, the thing is, I can't think of any *needed* upgrade. I'm past the point where I care about a few extra points on 3DMark or something. I have an Epox 8K3A+ that I'll probably install with some PC2700 ram, but then I'll need another chip that will run in sync with the RAM. That's ram + proc and I'll have an old mobo.

Pay off any CC debt, save your pennies in case you need a better video card for HL2 or Doom3 (the XP2000+ should be fine).

I'm a kid, no CC debt. No debt at all.

DVD burner? Pioneer A06 with software for around $250 at newegg.

No need at the moment.

uhh... don't upgrade then? Buy a book? CDs?

If you want a worthwhile computer upgrade, look at your monitor and speakers/headphones. Maybe pick up a pair of Sennheisers and an SB Live if you like music.

Video card. Radeon 9700 pro should be pretty good bang for the buck right about now.

Invest it in the stock market. I don't know why we must spend every cent we earn.
Or if you really need to spend money I'd like you buy me the EMS psx2pc adapter so I can use my DDR pads for it 😉 Only 14.99 8)
