Hey everyone,
I'm looking on upgrading my 7600gt card. I basically want the most power I can get from a card or two in SLI while still not over heating my system or casing too much noise. I don't see the need to spend much over $200. So can I use 2.0 x16 GPU's on my system? Will my processor cause a bottleneck on powerful GPU's?
I'm looking at running Direct x10 games (crysis, Age of Conan). Any other upgrades I should get? I am a bit low on storage space these days, difficult to switch out hard drives? Just seeing whats out there and possible with this system.
-M2N32 WS Pro motherboard, AM2 socket
-Thermaltake 430W power supply
-Dual PCI Express x16 SLI ready
-AMD Athalon 64 X2 4600+ (2.41ghz each)
-1.5 or 2GB ram DDR2 (Dual channel)
4 Ram slots
-80 Gb harddrive
-LG 4ms 19 inch display in 1280-1024 res maxed
-Vista 32bit (useful getting a 64-bit OS?)
