Upgrading.

[ipixel]

Alright, i always used my PC for design, but for inexplicable reason ive been gaming heavily lately, and im in dire need of an upgrade.

Current Setup -

2.6ghz intel celeron (...)
256 ram
intel Extreme Graphics (this is a load of crap aint it? dunno..)

Bought my computer from dell too.

I want to play games like CS:source etc, but my computer just cant handle the graphics, what would i need to be able to play games of this sort?

I know id need more ram, but what else?

Tyvm.

i run cs:s ok wiv 256 ram, 1.5ghz intel 4 CPU, and a nvidia geforce 2 mx440 lmao i duno how but it works ok, i cant play HL2 tho cs:s works ok for some reason, but thats this current pc im buildin a new pc newer than this one thats like 3 years old, so i recommend more ram and DEFF a new gfx card, urban will come along and pwn all our post wiv technological numbers mx4000043gfxhuzeewotzy :P

Dell Pwns.

:doggy!:

EDIT: *sigh*

Processor is ****, celeron and sempron etc etc are all budget light weight crap they stick in Tesco Value computers/laptops, get an AMD 64 (3200+ etc) for best gaming.

Gfx card.....buy a proper one tbh (i can run HL2 and CS:S on my Raedon 9600 in my laptop but it all depends on how much your willing to spend when it comes to gfx cards, the more it costs, the better it is :P).

512k is adequate ram but 1mb would be best for gaming.

*/sigh*

Agreed Celeron wasnt made for gaming, come to think of it im not actually too sure what the celeron was made for.

After talking about his current machine on MSN, the conclusion has been drawn that putting money into it would be feeding a dead horse. A dead horse with no AGP.

Add 512MB PC3200 and save it for the possible new machine.
