Hello all... i recently got a stroke of goodluck and landed enough cash to upgrade my computer. first of all, here's the current spec:
Mobo: Asus P5kpl-am SE
Proc: Pentium D 2.9ghz
Ram: 1gig 6400
Video: the integrated intel g31/g33 express (yes, the one that came with the mobo)
hd: 160gigs
now the question is simple, given that i only have enough cash to do one upgrade, which should it be?
-A NEW PROCESSOR
-A NEW VIDEO CARD
-MOAR RAM!!!
The processor is actually quite far from my budget but im putting it in because among the things listed, it is the oldest, so maybe... just maybe... hahaha
Video card= most likely sparkle 9400 GT (if you have anything to say about this vc, tell me)
Ram= 1 or 2 more gigs... most likely 2...heh
Comments and suggestions are welcome.
PS: most of you might get shocked why im running on such a low system. Well, im actually from the philippines, and here, everything is expensive. imagine this:
(converted for your convenience)
daily allowance: 2$ (lunch meal = 1.5$, transportation fare= .5$ so basically, nothings left)
average cost of sparkle 9400 = 50$
ram 2gigs = 55$
so that basically it. Thank you for taking the time to read and possibly contribute on this.
