Hi I just upgraded from an ECS K7VZA Mainboard with a AMD XP 2400+ with 512 megs SDRAM to a Shuttle AN35N Ultra with a AMD XP 3000+ @ 333FSB with dual 512 Megs totaling 1024 @ 333 FSB.
ok I am a gamer who likes to have the graphics on full but I have to have atleast 40fps or I lol get headachs from the choppines. I am really into graphics so I like to be able to play games with all options on just to see how good they look, so lowing quality is not an option. I am realy looking forward to HL2 and Doom 3.
Now I am not just upgrading for these games alone but I do understand that their engines will be licenced to other developers in due time, HL2 engine has alread been licenced to another company.
With that said did I make a mistake on going with this upgrade? I am willing to drop more $$ into another upgrade to a 3000 64 but a question remains will this work with my current 2,700 ram? I don't care about running the ram at a slower FSB that the cpu if thats possible I will take the profomance hit.
But will the extra money be worth it? How long will this new socket 939 last? Should I just wait? Any suggestions please! Also I cannot aford an FX chip as I just also laid a lot of green down on a new Vid Card.
I have a friend willing to buy the board I just bought at close to the price I paid so I only have about $250 to spare, Give or take a few.
Thanks!
David
