Hello Crossfire! The weather outside is something to be desired.
I have got some money (Lucky me!) and I want to upgrade my computer I have. Don't want to buy a new one, just upgrade two things.
The first is the hard drive as I have 20gb hard drive at the moment (other one broke so had to use this back up, have been using it for nearly a year now :< )
So I heard that a SATA internal hard drive was the one to go for (suggestions?!).
The second thing I want to upgrade is my graphic card. I am running on NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti 4800 SE, and barley get stable 76 fps at ET. I was think of another Gefore card maybe the 6800? The problem is i don't have PCI Express, anyone know of a good card which I could get stable 125 on and which is not PCI Express.
And just for information my setup:
Intel(R)
Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.53GHz
2.54 GHz
512 MB of RAM

got the same cpu and a 7600gt, 125 fps on most parts of most maps :D
edit: btw rather save your money and get a new pc in half a year or something, better then wasting 200 € in an old one, which you'll propably trash in 1 or 2 years :p
EDIT: I prob wont buy new computer so just want to upgade this one:<
BOTH!
