*Bump*
I have decided to go and try and get a sound card, but it made me think. If a sound card can help peformance, is there anything else for PCI slots that can help aswell?
I mean... what about one of does new physics card? If I got one of does, would it boost peformance?
Is there anything else?
Also... My ram are DDR-2 3200. I know that it would not make a difference if I had 2 or 4 Gig, but... What if I got 2 gig of new good quality ram of a much better speed. would it help peformance allot?
also... If my CPU is really my bottleneck, do you think that I would be able to get some sort of 478 socket CPU that I can put in my system without changing everything else?
Please help. :)
The PhysX card will not boost performance - they're a good idea, but rather gimmicky at this point in time. As for the RAM, you won't notice any real performance difference by switching to higher-speed, tighter-timing RAM, especially since that's DDR, not DDR2 RAM, and you won't be able to re-use it. As for better Socket 478 processors, there's not much - not enough for me to recommend going out and splurging on a new one, at any rate. I hate to say it, but that machine's about as good as it's going to get. I'd only buy parts that can carry over to your next build at this point. Sound card, power supply, speakers, monitor, etc.*Bump*
