Re: MainBoard UpGrade
Thanks Again!!!
yes i will try to go for a 2GB ram First , about video card this main board
only supports AGP 8x i will try Oclock Video Card just a little and see if
does any better . According to Windows Vista Ultimate My score now is a total
of 3.1:
processor 4.2
ram 4.4
graphics 3.6
GamingGraphics 3.1
Hd 5.3
Im Not to much in a rush to step in yet to 64 bit OS(do to the amount of
programs available in 64Bit) , even that my current mainboard does support 64
bit processors. After the Ram up grade i will see how much better
improvement in benchmark and in Windows scores .The Idea of the PCIe is great
,i know that will be a big jump in performance in the gaming area .For that
i will have to give up My current mother board!!I m very pleased with W.Vista
i want to keep it for my daily computer activities but i also wants the
entertainment in the weekends .Ones i get enought Info i will do the change
all at one time with a good combination of parts to perform my games also
..Again thanks for the over view !
obs : Vista 32bit only can handle 3GB Ram ?
