Here is my situation. I have been debatinng a new computeg about buildir or getting a laptop. Right now I have an athlon xp 3000+, 1.5GB DDR333, and a 6600GT. I only have the money to either get a laptop, or build a new computer this fall. I have a $1500 limit for either one. Now here is my situation. Should i hold on to my desktop, and get a 7800GS, and keep my desktop and get a laptop. Or just build a new computer. I know a laptop will be very useful in the occupation i'm getting into. Would my 3000+ be able to power the 7800GS good enough to play BF2 on High with 64 players?

with getting the 7800 gs I think you would see a good performance boost, but as I am sure most people would tell you that the AGP cards are soon going to be dead to the computer world. As for what you should get, I would personaly get a new AMD 64 processor, motherboard, and a 7800gt video card if you have the cash. As for the laptop, that is hard to say. If you think you really need it, depending on your field it may be the best choice.
But only you can decide which one is more important to your needs
