Hmmm...Upgrade YET?

[BlackTigers91]

I was just wondering wat you guys think the bottleneck of this is. I am going to slightly upgrade, options explained later.

Sempron 2500+ at 2.2 Ghz
BFG Unlocked 6800OC
1GB PC3200 OCZ (cheap Stuff)
120GB Maxtor HDD
Sony DL DVD Burner
Hiper Modular PSU


Heres my Options: (My dad's shop closed, our car's are broke, so unless someone is going to be generous and donate, don't offer alot guys)

1: Go to 3200+ Venice and a AGP Mobo For now. ( DFI Probably)
2: Go to Athlon XP 3200+ and 6800 GT
3: Leave it, Upgrad to M2 This Summer.
4: You Pick!


Let me know, any and ALL donations accepted

I would definitely not get an AGP mobo, those cards are dying out.

I would save up and wait, if you can play the games you want to right now. You want to at least get a PCI-E mobo and go that route

I would say wait, then upgrade later....If you are asking about your bottleneck it would prob be your CPU....

Definitely upgrade later. You system still has a little kick left in it, so until you can afford a whole new computer, leave it be.

I think that the bottlenecks are in the processor and the RAM, but I think that you should wait on upgrading.If you're planning on getting one of the new M2 processors when they come out, upgrading would be pointless.

Ok. I found a CPU with 512k of L2, and its like 1.8 Ghz. Would this be a major improvement over my Sempron? I mean, it's not uber expensive. I REALLY just wanna play games at med-high settings. ( Q4, FEAR, BF2, Oblivion) I can't hardly afford anything, but the XP I saw was in my range.

Let me know what you think the increase will be.
