Hi there

I am thinking of getting Windows Vista, but first would like to speed up and basically update my PC if needed.

Here is what I have at the moment:

Motherboard: GA-K8NF-9

CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3700+

RAM; 2x Swissbit 512MB SDRAM DDR PC3200 (200Mhz)

Graphic Card: NVIDIA GeForce 6600GT 16x 128MB PCI-Express

HD: 2x 200GB Seagate

Any recommendations?

Is the graphic card still ok? I know it's knocking on a bit now but can it still handle the newer games?

I was thinking of updating the RAM but not sure what would go with my motherboard :-s
