I currently have a weak ass computer and i'm looking at buying a possible upgrade/new system.
Here's what I have:
AMD Athlon 700
384 MB ram
ATI 3D Rage LT Pro
30 GB hard drive
16 bit Sound card
I am thinking about getting this very cheap upgrade:
AMD Duron Pro 3000+ CPU
256 MB ram
ECS L7Vmm3 ATX MB / USB 2.0
20 GB HD
52X CDRW
16 Bit Sound Card
10/100 Ethernet
32mb AGP Video
300 Watt ATX Tower
It's was $600, now only 300 bucks at Techtronics sunce they have their 50% off sale - seems like a fantastic deal to me since it's worlds ahead of what I have. I am thinking about calling them up and asking them to upgrade the video card and hard drive and see if they can do it. Actually, here is a third system they have:
AMD Barton XP 2500+
256 PC3200 Ram
64 MB DDR Ram 8x AGP Video
20GB hard drive
52x CDRW
5.1 Digital Sound
300w ATX tower
This one is $400. What are your thoughts? The weakest part of the system is the 20gb hard drive, but that is a cheap upgrade if I need one. Any help would be appreciated before I go down there and talk to a salesman.
