Time to upgrade my PC? Need help deciding what to buy, etc
Konrad Beerbaum:
Heh, those numbers don't mean anything to the 95% of us using XP.
DaDude:
Confused. But yeah, lol. My PSU is... lemme check... can't find it... I'll have to look in the PC.
Also, yeah, I have tried that out. But it takes longer than 5 mins to load. Plus, EVERY texture is just a simple colour, like "red, blue"... it was hilarious, when I was introduced to Rapture City, it looked like Lego Land! XD
But yeah, I'll bite the bullet and wait.
On a side note, I have PCI Standard and AGP ports... I think. Not 100% sure... It says PCI Standard Host CPU Bridge. As for AGP, there's one that says SIS Processor to AGP Controller under System Devices in Device Manager.
Meh. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption is out tomorrow, that'll do. XD
Edit: Why is my name DaDude again? *Sigh* Can someone change it back to Nova? Thanks whoever does. (please change the Display Name at least). And no, it won't let me change it myself. :/
major:
I like Nova's, I own one :)

Quite true, but hey, I'm happy have my avatar in Mr. High-Budget PC Builder's screenshot =)

I bought a new Graphic-Card and more RAM a few Days ago. (and on the next Day a new power pack)
Tested it with Bioshock on Maximum Settings and got it on a nearly Playable Level.
With Settings on Medium it will work fine.
I got a AMD Athlon XP 2400 (2 GHz)
1792 MB DDR-RAM @ 333 MHz
and a HIS Radeon X1650Pro IceQ
At first i got a little Problem with the Card, but after I got the right Driver for it it works fine with the Games I tested so far.
Now I know ATI-Support sucks, better to choose a Driver without Catalysm-Control-Center and don't get a Driver with a internal Version-Number ending on "0" like 8.40 >:(.
If you got Graphic-Problems with Bioshock, you should try the new Bioshock-hotfix first.

and don't forget to delete the old driver at first.
