I know what you're thinking. It's about time! I am now in the planning stage of upgrading my PC to something that can run modern games. :lol:
To everybody in my video card thread, sorry, forgot to tell you which video card I picked. It was the Radeon 9200SE, and I got it for 80$ (that's after shipping and handling) at atic.ca! Turns out that even that was pushing the limit on my money situation at the time! :(
Anyways, this time I'm upgrading my processor, motherboard, and buying RAM to match. The money isn't as much of a problem this time, and I want to buy something that will last for a while before becoming outdated, even if it means paying a bit more. ;)
Nothing too expensive though :huh:
This is what I'm looking at right now. What do all of you think about this?
Motherboard: nForce2 Ultra400
Processor: Athlon XP2600+
And then either two 256 sticks of DDR400 or one 512.
Does it matter whether I have 2 sticks of 256 or one of 512? They both add up to the same thing, but does the number of sticks of RAM make any difference with anything?
Thanks!
