I was thinking about what it would take to beef my currant machine up to par.
What better place to get some tech-head replies than here.
To be honest, BF2 is the game i play. I want to be able to play it at maximum settings.
Heres a SS of some of my specs, most of em.
For the pic of the RAM, it shows whats in just one slot. Theres another identicle stick in slot 2 and slot 3 is empty.

My video card: Geforce FX 5200 256mb
( i found this on ebay, good deal?
http://cgi.ebay.com/Geforce-7800-GTX-51 … dZViewItem )
My Sound Card: SB Live (Value) i think. Whatever it is, its a cheapo. And very old. Older than this PC. Was in my last one.
My Mouse: Alienware/Microsoft Intellimose Explorer Optical. I actually like it, but i hear alot about better ones.
My Monitor: Gateway 2000 EV900 19". Its an old big bulky thing. I actually had to cut the hole bigger on the back of my desk so the thing would fit. It sticks out the back about 6 inch's and comes all the way to the very front of my desk. If i didnt have a tray underneath for my keyboard, i couldnt use this desk at all. This monitor is older than 2 of my kids. In games if i get flashbanged my monitor will shut off completely. By the time i turn it back on, im dead... lol funny, but not really when it happens in a match. To counter this effect i have to lower my gamma/contrast/brightness/digital vibrance to really low settings, making some things darker than they should be. You get the picture, i need a new monitor, lol.
My Hard Drive, To my knowledge: Seagate Barracuda 80GB. Thats all i know about it. Came with the PC.
I also have a CD burner and a DVD player. I dont really use my PC for watching movies, but would like to be able to copy them
Thanx for the help guys
