I'm interested in pumping up my system in preparation for half-life 2 and other such amazing games in the future. i had planned on buying a new machine, but a recent car accident has left me reconsidering my options Anyway, I have:
p4 1.5ghz (Socket 423 model)
i850 chipset mobo
512 megs of pc800 RDRAM
60 an 80 gig wd 8meg cache hard drive
16x dvd-rom
52/32/52x cdrw
Geforce 3 64 meg ddr (original, non-ti model)
I think that's everything you need to know. Anyway, Do you think getting a radeon 9800 or 9700 would be enough for getting good performance and all the great graphics extra goodies in the latest games, or should i go for a new i865 chipset mobo with a 2.8ghz HT p4 with a new ati card? Thanks a lot guys.
