Compactman ghast hacker Registered: 06/07/01 Posts: 11436	I'm planning for my next part upgrade and I'm looking for what is going to most benefit my computer. I think its going to be ram but I cannot be all that sure. Like I said just one part because I work at kfc and I don't make any real money at any given point in time.. 1.7ghz clocked to 1.8 amd XP geforce 4MX 512 mb sdram Pc 133 Soundblaster Live! 5.1 Ive got 2 slots for DDR on my motherboard.. I think my next upgrade should be to a gig of DDR... err well 512 at one time and then another 512 when I have enough cash again.. _________________________ Fell off the wagon....

HDZ Cyber zombie Registered: 07/06/02 Posts: 4067 Loc: Toronto (Nexus of Canada)	Since money is an issue get a BulletPC hardware modded 9500 http://www.pimprig.com/modules.php?s=&name=Sections&sop=viewarticle&artid=108 basically, this slight modification gives you a 9700 Pro, but seriously saves some cash. The only downside i've read of this, is some cards will cause odd checker effects, on a minor solder screw up. BulletPC checks theirs before shipping to make sure it runs as advertised without that. I was really tempted myself to do this, considering how "cheap" it is. But i dont really need it, my GF3 suits me fine. _________________________

Compactman ghast hacker Registered: 06/07/01 Posts: 11436	I'll never buy another ATI card again... I'm waiting for nvidia's next card to come out before I go and buy a geforce 4.. no sense in buying the card if my card already runs all the games I play... I also found somebody who has a P.O box in the U.S just across the border that I can use so pricewatch here I come. Do you really see a difference with DDR? _________________________ Fell off the wagon....
