Hi guys, i'm just an average gamer with an average computer.
Current rig:
Gygabyte GA-M61SM2-S2
Athlon 64 X2 4200+
1G platinum geil ddr2 800 o/c
Jetway 8600gts
Now the problem with the mobo is that is has a pci-ex X8 bus in a pci-ex X16 slot (I didn't know that when i purchased it).
My cousin wants to give me a Biostar N4SIE-A7 SLI. (max ddr2 667)
It has a P4 in it (don't know the frequency).
I was thinking of adding another 1 gig, changing to a dual core and purchasing a 2nd 8600 gts for the SLI
(but i can only do this in 6 months MINIMUM!!!)
Is it a wise choice or should i just stick to my current ring and maybe add another 1 gig ,and WHY?
Other advise will also be helpfull.
And also, what do you think of the rig before the upgrade?
Your help will rely be appreciated.
Thanks.
