"Upgrade Help"

I am currently running

Amd 2600
512 DDr pc2700
120gb HD
FX 5200
Motherboard ?

The system will just about run far cry on the lowest settings and evan then is a bit jumpy.I have around £200 to spend on an upgrade and would like you to recomend which things i should get and where to get them from.

Thanks for your help

When you get it download the latest drivers from the Nvidia site.

Or just run windows live update and select it from there.

Yep i agree with the other guys that a new graphics card will help esspecially with far cry, when i play games like that i always close anything thats running in the background and is not needed as well, it seems to help a little and it might help you.

Wow that dog has a curly tail.

Unless of course your FX5200 is a PCI card.

Yep.

and if i were to get this card as i have seen a good price on overclockers how easy would it be to change this would it just be slotting a new one in where the old one and it would work?

You got enough Ram.

which graphics card would you recommend for the money and you dont reackon it would be worth doubling the ram

You can get a radeon 9800 pro and still have £50 change from that budget.

Same as silent scope, graphics card will do the trick.

As for sound, onboard will do fine.
