i know that its not enough to have a great video card only, or you will create quite a bottle neck, but i was wondering if there are any articles out there about top of the line graphics cards with older processors. the same goes for memory. as far as fps goes i want to understand where you can take the largest hit for going cheap (processor, memory, etc).

thanks
 
Hard[OCP] has the Doom 3 benches on a Athlon XP 2500+ set up, with the 6800s and x800s.
 
so what plays a bigger role in gaming performance.....ram or cpu.....i know they both play a crucial role, but comparing say 128 mb of ram vs a 1 ghz celeron, on which would you see the biggest performance hit (playing something like....bf1942 maybe?)
 
I would say in your case to play bf:1942, your 1ghz proc should be fine, I would go for the more ram. But if your gonna be ineterested in playing future games I would say its time to upgrade that set up, 1ghz isn't gonna cut it in the next gen of games.
 
BF:1942 can be quite the memory hog, i would say 512mb is the bare minimum.

a 1Ghz PIII or Athlon would probably be bearable, but a celeron?? :rolleyes:
i hope you were joking

If you have a 1Ghz Celeron w/128mb system memory(barely enough to run windows by itself) its not really gonna make much difference whatever graphics card you buy :(
