New Pc Or Continue To Upgrade

[volskid2002]

my current pc specs you can see in my sig and i was wondering if i should continue to try to upgrade it or just wait and start saving money to build a new computer?

[clocker]

I guess the two most important questions ( to me, at least) would be...

Does your motherboard support a faster chip?
Is there room for more memory?

Edit: If the answer is yes, I would be tempted to upgrade and wait to build new for a while. See how the 64bit chip thing shakes out...

The ram sux...the cpu sux...the gcard is ok...hard drive looks good..i would save up and start a new comp immediatly! althought i am not one to talk..look at my sig lol

I started off just like you did and just kept picking up parts when I coul;d find them at the right price and I sold all my old parts for half of what I bought my new ones for.I am still upgrading and pretty much have nothing left of the original comp I started with other than the keyboard and mouse and floppy drive and I am only into my complete system (including my speakers,printer,scanner,gamepad etc) for about 600-700 if that.

It&#39;s going to be a while before 64-bit processors are a reasonable price, I would suggest this is upgrade time, then start saving your money for 64-bit next time.

Upgrade the motherboard, processor and ram, there are some good deals around if you don&#39;t go for the ultimate specs. Remember to check if your power supply is good enough.

[volskid2002]

so what upgrade will be the better bang for the buck:

-CORSAIR 512MB PC3200 DDR RAM
-Asus Motherboard for AMD Athlon XP/Duron Processors, Model# A7N8X Deluxe Retail
-AMD ATHLON XP 2500+ "Barton" 333 FSB PROCESSOR CPU- RETAIL

&#036;300

or

-CORSAIR 512MB PC3200 DDR RAM
-ABIT IS7,Intel 865PE chipset for Socket 478 P4 ATX motherboard RETAIL
-Intel Pentium 4 / 2.4CGHz 512k socket 478 Hyper Threading Technology 800 MHz FSB - RETAIL

&#036;365

and if i get one of these combinations will all of my other parts work like my videocard and my hard-drive?

[james_bond_rulez]

definitely get the p4

the hyperthreading technology rox

quake 3 is enough to rip your nuts/guts/brain/boobs/arms/eyes :lol:

i was an amd fan but i turned to p4 :lol:

[clocker]

Of course your HDD and video card will work with either.

I&#39;m not touching the AMD v. Intel question...

[volskid2002]

alright ill go with the p4 thanx for all the help

[abu_has_the_power]

ur vd card might survive for a couple more months, but ur cpu needs serious renovating.

upgrade

I would personally go for the amd option, I would think you can get the price down below &#036;300 with a little shopping around, or go for a faster processor. You should certainly be able to get a 2700+ processor for the same price as a 2.4GHz P4.
