Upgrading gaming rig

TheDuke · 2003-06-09 13:38:31

Hi guys, my gaming machine is starting to age although only in the todler years. It's a 1.8MHz Pentium - 256 DDR RAM and (266MHz I believe) and a GeForce 2 - 64MB. I am kind of half thinking of juicing it up a bit by upgrading it to 512 MB (which at €80 is quite resonable) but I am not too sure if it is worth going for…

Greenbean - this is the dilemma of every gamer - never buy at the edge, always in the middle but make sure it still cool 6 months later.

I know the FX 5600 will be un-cool very soon but you are talking to some one with a GeForce2 so how un-cool is that.

Also, I am very nostalgic when it comes to my games - I dunno if I will be a big DOOM3 fan? Like UT3 I installed it, played one round and deleted it... totally bored me... now, when the first UT came out it was the only reason I lived :cool: .

I am still well hooked on MOHSP, I stress spearhead as the wibble-wobble move is not possible - i.e.e you can only lean if stopped but not when running and I love the smoke grenades as they can really change how a level is played. So when the new rig arrives, everything will be put up to MAX and replayed! Sad, but that is how I tick.

On the memory I will be pragmatic and just stick with the 266MHz. I just feels right (I know Matt - I should be more adventurous).
