upgrade

whats the best way to upgrade your PC.

it's just becoming a bit slow and i just wana quickenin it up a bit really.

40GB HDD
1.6GHz
128MB of Ram

it's basically for playing footy manager

gameplay is quite slow in the new FM's since they have loads to process

i heard that if you try to upgrade the memory too much, your PC can't handle it it does more damage than good?

if i got 1GB of Ram would it make a big difference/make my PC loads faster? or owuld i have to upgrade from 1.6 to well over 2GHz as well as upgrade the Ram?

i have no clue

any help would be much appreciated

Crank up the RAM and a decent video card - processor ain't too bad - it'll do.

using xp. so if i get either 512 or 1Gb of ram, that alone should make a massive difference n make my PC whizz along much quicker?

i HEARD XP works well with 512RAM - More than that is nice for video editting other media apps - but not always necessary. As always, get it if u can afford it - but i'd splash out on a decent video card if u wanna play games...

i was gona get a better graphics card as well like, would a GeForce 4 do?

any decent ones off the top of your head mate? i'm not bothered about grpahics for footy manager obviously but for other games it'll be v.usefull!!

i'll get 512MB ram n hopefully that'll make a huge difference

Not a clue on video cards... don't play games on mi PC so i'm not sure what the crack/craic ( ) is... someone else will pipe up with that information..


*awaits piping*

i don't either really, just champ man/footy manager, wasnt too bad in years gone by but the new versions gameplay is slow as hell

does it matter what make of Ram i get, i.e. is there certain types for different types of PC or r they all the same and just need chucked in
