| 702312 | 2008-09-03 15:33:00 | The title pretty much says it. I'm wondering how I can find out what the best graphics card is for my computer. It's a pretty old one, 2 years or so and it wasn't really new back then either :P But I'm pretty sure that I can upgrade it at least so that it can play WoW a lil better... Yeah that's right WoW :P So anyway, how do I find out? At the moment I have a Nvidia geforce4 ti4600... which is pretty much suckage. And I have a Intel Celeron CPU 3,06 GHz.... which is also pretty much suckage. My motherboard is a ASUStek p4s8x-mx, what can I do to make my life a little bit easier? Thanks! (I don't wanna hear about buying a new computer cause I don't have the money for that anyway. thanks again) |

| 702314 | 2008-09-03 20:41:00 | Nah...the HD3850 would be the fastest AGP card you can get for that motherboard, however it is hardly worth it considering the CPU would be a huge bottleneck..... I would build a new box if I were you... |

| 702315 | 2008-09-03 20:57:00 | 1. Best Graphics Card for your computer: RADEON HD 3850 512MB ATI RADEON HD 3850, 512MB DDR3, AGP 8X, TV-OUT, DUAL DVI $258.65 from C1 SHOPPINGMALL Or a Nvidia 7950GT 512 ddr3 agp 8 x (The best Nvidia agp card but way,way older card and not as good as the newer ATI card.) 2. Best Cpu for your computer: Intel Pentium 4 3E GHz 800 MHz 1 MB Socket 478 CPU General Features: Intel Pentium 4 3E GHz clock speed PRESCOTT core! 800 MHz Bus Speed 1MB L2 Cache Size Socket 478 Or this one if you cant get the other one: Intel Pentium 4 3.0 GHz 800 MHz Socket 478 CPU General Features: 3.0 GHz clock speed 478-pin package 800 MHz system bus 512 KB L2 advanced transfer cache 3. Memory for your computer: 2 x 1 gig ddr400 ram sticks is the best your computer can take.For the cpu,memory,graphics card if you wanted to do that then have a look on trademe or ebay etc., you will find it on there probably and will be cheap. Memory/Ram you can still get from computer shops no worries,you can get it cheap as,you can get it from DSE,etc. Make sure you tell them you want ddr 400 memory/ram. All of those things will make a big difference for what you have now.But of course a newer computer is better.:) |
