' Wrote:Not familiar with the motherboard or its performance specifications, but I would say this:
If you can increase you're budget, get on the Intel road wagon. The Core and Penryn architecture are here, and Nahalem promises to punish AMD/ATi even more. The new Phenom AMD chips can't put up a fight against a Core 2 Quad, let alone the new Penryn variations. Their clocks are a full GHz below that of their Intel rivals, which makes two full GHz below if you overclock the Intel chips to within an inch of life.
Out of the two, the processor and the graphics card, the processor is definatly the one in need of an upgrade. If you can't increase your budget at all, buy an AMD Athlon X2 5000+. It should be cheap enough for you to buy, and it is certainly leagues better than the budget chip you seem to be using there. On a tight budget, that is probably what I'd do in your situation too.
Oh year, i love you.
No knowlege but wise words.
My advice was founded on a pro's experience.
Boronic you got a fine one.
From my point of view i recommend you save your money and buy a new one in about 6 months.
Currently the Euro is beating the market.
Be patient and take a look at your local stores.
