Out With the Old
Getting that new monitor last week made me want to make some more upgrades. Everything looks so much better now. There are some PC games out there worth playing and I’m getting the urge to play more. I installed the Command and Conquer 3 demo over the weekend and by default all the settings were low. I have a feeling that if I bump up the settings I’ll see some serious performance issues.
My desktop is about 4.5 years old, so it’s past time to start thinking about a new one. I’m going to start buying components for a new system. Thankfully, I should be able to transfer some of the newer stuff from my old system to my new one.
The first thing I want to buy is a video card because I could probably start using it right away. I’m a little behind on video card advancements. My current card is a Geforce FX 5200 with 128 MB of VRAM. Don’t laugh!
Even something in the 6 series would be an improvement for me. I want to buy other upgrades, so I don’t want to spend too much on a video card. I haven’t started looking at prices yet, so I wouldn’t be surprised if I could shoot higher for a great price. Also, I haven’t ruled out buying an ATI card.
