upgrade for fiance...

[FalconSS]

abit ic7-gmax2
intel 2.8c
2 gig corsair xms
x850pro -> xtpe

okay heres the deal...my girl wants a new computer (hers is really really old..im talkin about 2 gig hard drive old...guessing around 95-96) ive got a few spare parts around from upgrading my current comp...

abit ic7-max2
ati 9800pro
1 gig corsair xms 2.2.2.5


it seems all I need to really build her a system is a case (i don't think she wants my old xaser3 case) and a processor. so i was thinking whats the best upgrade for the money so I can give her my 2.8c and upgrade my comp at the same time. by the way she is addicted to the sims 2.

9800pro and sims two... geerrr itl work but shell be like "you suck at making computers cuz i cant run this at max quality" then you say "god damnit i got it for you for free", and she dumps you and takes the computer .

jk. but yea. im suprised you have "spare" XMS memory, thats expensive stuff man! 2-2-2.5! damn!

umm the Pentium D's are massive bang per buck right now, perticularly the 805. <$150 at the egg, and over clock like a dream. course you can go with the 900 series, then theres CONROE, which I HIGHLY recomend waiting for (there out by the end of the month).
