Got some money-Need Upgrade

[GeekyBoy]

@Shloeb
are yaar, u can't plug da ard in ur current mobo. It has only PCIE4x slot which is not menat to plug in graphics cards.

I've already told that his current mobo(Asrock) has an 8x AGP slot and a 16X PCI Express slot(check here *www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=775Dual-915GL. Why do you guys mislead him ?

@Shloeb, you don't need to go for a new mobo. Stick to your current mobo and go for 1x2 GB RAM(Rs 2800) and a good graphics card (Nvidia 8600GT- Rs 6300).

Look at Shloeb's current mobo specs

if any one of ur frnds own a pcie gfx card just bring it and test it on ur pc.see how it performs in games in ur pc and then decide whether u need to upgrade mobo.

 

[spikygv]

good idea .

*the 8600GT has been used by another guy using the same mobo as ur's and it worked fine. . .(now he's having probs , but not connected to mobo neway . .) ..

First and foremost, get a bigger harddrive. 250gig drive costs just under 3k.

Yeah i know a guy who has used a 8600GT in the same motherboard as mine. And he has no problems. His username is BlackBerry.
So i'll get a 8600gt and 2gb ram. Which are the brands to choose from ram? Kingston or transcend?

 

[The_Devil_Himself]

transcend for ram
XFX/ASUS for the card.
