    Hey guys,

    I want to upgrade my ram and graphics card as when I built her around a year ago I had kinda slipped out of playing games but the love has flowed back in the last year :D

    I currently have this mother board,
    (MSI K9NGM-L, nForce410+GeForce 6100,Socket-AM2, m-ATX, DDR2, LAN, PCI-Ex16)

    1 gb of this ram,
    (Corsair XMS2 5400 DDR2, 1024MB PC5400 64Meg x 8, CAS 4-4-4-12, 667MHz, 240pin)

    and this graphics card
    (POINT OF VIEW GeForce 7300GS 256MB DDR Turbo Cache, 550Mhz/405Mhz, PCI-Express)

    I was going to put in at least another gig of ram, would it be worth getting another gig after that as well.

    Also I was going to get this graphics card
    http://www.dabs.ie/productview.aspx?Quicklinx=4D6N

    Should all of this be compatible and do ya reckon there is any chance it would be able to run crysis at any sort of decent playable level?

    Cheers,

    Eamonn

    Yeah should be okay with that though the RAM may suffer a little bit of it doesn't have the same timings as the original but it's not a major loss if you can't get the exact same type of Corsair RAM.

    Want to keep it to 200 or under, money is tight!

    I'm thinking of grabbing an extra 2gb of ram now to bring it up to 3gb, just wondering would that be the best use of 50euro or would a more expensive graphics card be more beneficial? Cheers, Eamonn
