"System requirements recommends"

so i wanna play games like Far Cry and Half Life 2, but my system is a bit old and slow [like its owner]. I'm still playing MOHAA Spearhead. What sort of upgrades do I need to play these, with all the settings at top whack, and what kind of cash are we talking? cheers

Wait till i get my vapochill/prommy.

It would be quite a bit faster, though you would probably need a new motherboard and new ram at the same time depending on how old it is.

I feel so insignificant.

1.4 GHz AMD Athlon
768 RAM
9600 Pro


Actually, would I feel a massive increase in overall performance if I were to upgrade my CPU?

Except Ali.

His 9700 pro has 8 pipelines, yours has 4.

It's no contest.

Barely.

In fact, the difference in performance for HL2 is a mere 3-5% increase, as in Doom 3. The fact I get very, very good FPS ratings in the both of them stands testement for itself...

Oh, and the improvement from RAM is huge, while you're GPU is only slightly better than mine.

Also, one of two things happening within the next few months, an 9800 Pro or a new motherboard coupled with an X800...

Then I crush all.

All.

Because RAM's a better word, and he's got more.
