Hey. I want to opgrade my computer to be better at gaming, especially games with high number of combattens. Is there something i can do without making large new perchases? My system is as following:
775Dual-VSTA
Produkt 775Dual-VSTA
Processor Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz
Version x86 Family 15 Model 4 Stepping 9
Data 32bits
Omtrentlig clock-speed 3.013Mhz
BIOS Default System BIOS
Version A M I - 7000628
memorychip DIMM0
Kapacitet 1.024Mb
memorychip DIMM2
Kapacitet 1.024Mb
NVIDIA
Grafikkort NVIDIA GeForce 7950 GT
RAM 512Mb
Tilstand 1152 x 864 x 4294967296
Driver nv4_disp.dll
Version 6.14.10.9147
Harddiskmodel MAXTOR STM3320620A

I've actually had some experience with that motherboard. What a slug! Newer VIA LGA775 chipsets aren't the best, but I didn't think that they were that bad. Video performance just seemed to be extremely low...screen redraws were visible, and HD video playback was slightly choppy, even with a Core 2 Duo and x1950 Pro under the hood.
The 3.0GHz P4 is also no speed demon. Upgrading to a newer GeForce 8800+/Radeon HD 48xx would only shift the bottleneck to the CPU.
And upgrading to a Core 2 CPU would likely shift the bottleneck to that slooow chipset.
I wouldn't recommend spending any more money on that system. Best to just leave it as it is, and wait until you can afford a brand new computer.
