Yeah, I was pretty sure that guy is at the top of the AGP heap atm.


I too am starting to think of upgrading- what with tax refunds and all....

My current system is a AMD64 3200+(Venice), 1GB Ram, x800xl(AGP). Is there even an effective upgrade path for this system? My tentative budget is around $500- but I have nothing against saving a few bucks if spending more won't make a significant difference, or conversely I could spend a little more if it would make all the difference.

A faster CPU and a AGP x1950pro would be a painless upgrade- just pop the new CPU in and swap vid cards, but would I see significant gains with the slower mobo/RAM? I loathe reinstalling (sooo many apps and downloads to do over) but I would also consider building a new system if that was the most cost-effective path....

Any thoughts? I felt I was in a similar boat to HughTower, so I hope he doesnt mind my asking the question in this thread.
