Wow... I seriously need to be trained in some hardware stuff nowadays. I have so many questions as to WHY? HOW? WHICH? WHAT?
I got my computer about 5 years ago. It had: P4 2.0 GHz + 170W power supply Voodoo 2 (oh my gosh) 128 megabyte RAM 40 gigabyte hard disk SiS #### built-in sound card Now, it has: P4 2.0 GHz + 500W power supply + new casing GeForce FX 5700LE 1 giga stick + 256 mega stick of RAM 40 x 2 gigabyte hard disks SiS #### built-in sound card Now, I can't believe I have trouble trying to play Battlefield 2. And let me tell you, my computer has so much trouble trying to play some of the newer computer games. I lagged horribly when trying to play F.E.A.R - I had to put the resolution and graphic settings to the absolute lowest!! My goodness... But I wish to change my CPU and motherboard once and for all, hoping that it will last me another 3~4 years

And I believe the translation of this post is:
Your gaming experience is seriously downgraded by your graphics card, and probably your CPU. A simple upgrade would be to get an LG775 or the AMD equivalent and then get a PCI-e graphics card and a better CPU. Like I said, it's a translation of what I can see into it. Lisim, please type NORMAL DECENT ENGLISH. |

if you want to play games the most important thing is the graphics card you will do a good thing switching to pci express much faster, if i were you i would also spend maybe 2-300$ on a new pci-e video card trust me its worth it much more important than the cpu, i would also change your cpu a celeron is no just good enough. I am running a 2500 AMD XP with 1 Gb ram and ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 2 years ago paid maybe 1400$ for all this and starting to run slow now, i think im do for an upgrade as well
