Hi,
New to this board. You guys seem friendly.
So, my system is a few yrs old now and I am looking to up the GFX. I cant get a steady 100frames off of a measly game called CounterStrike 1.6, so I am looking for an upgrade.
Current Specs:
AMD X2 64 4200+
4Gigs DDR2 Kingston HyperX
ECS KA3 MVP V1.0A ATI (CROSSFIRE XPRESS 3200 CHIPSET )
ATI Radeon x1650 Pro PCI-e (1)
400W PSU
My goal is to max out my gfx settings so I can at least get the full frame rate that this game deserves. All the while, i am indeed trying to save me some money. I am considering getting another ATI x1650 and enabling the Crossfire (app. $40 off ebay), but it seems I will have to up the PSU wattage by doing so, and a 500watter will seem to work with this set up (app. $50-60).
What do you guys think? Do i have other options within the same budget (total $100)?
