What's my next upgrade??

[CurtCold]

I currently have the puter in my sig...

XP1600+ AGOIA
512MB PC 2100 DDR Kingston
8500 Radeon 64 MB
30 GB 7200 Diamond Max
2x60GB IBM 7200 120 GXP in Raid 0
A7v266-e Mobo
300Watt HEC PSU
12x10x32 Creative
DVD
12x8x32 aOpen
17" Viewsonic .23Dpi
Intellipoint 5 button Optical Mouse
MS Keyboard


I dunno where to go from here, new system? Would upgrading to a 2100+, or even 2000+ give me a noticable difference?

That's still a pretty fast system. I'd wait for the Athlon64 to come out... In the mean time you could mess around with overclocking if you want more speed.

Just got the 8500 about 4 months ago, had a GeForce 2mx400, which was fine, but the 8500 is fine for BF, MOHAA, 2k3, so I can't really justify upgrading it, besides I would like to wait about 4-6months and get a 9700. I guess I'm stuck waiting for the paper release of the HAMMER. lol

 

[optimistic]

NO UPGRADE. Wait till next year.

If it were me, I'd get a nice flat 19" monitor, maybe 21". You can keep the 17" to run dual monitors too.
