Hello everyone.
I have a AMD Athlon 4600+ Dual Core CPU with an ASROCK motherboard that I dont have much info. I also have a 8800GTS 320M. Some games are running a bit slow right now like Just Cause 2.
I want to upgrade my video card to a HD 5850 and wonder if it's possible to just upgrade the video card and keep the rest?
