hi there, I'm new to this forum. I've already posted one thread about how my computer won't boot, but so far I've had no response, oh well i'll wait.
Basically I want to know If my current setup, is good enough for gaming. this is my current setup:
Motherboard = Compaq Evo D500 (not sure the exact motherboard model)
CPU = Intel Pentium 4 1.8GHZ
Ram = 1024MB of PC-133MHZ SDRAM (512 MB in Dimm 1, 256 MB in Dimm 2, and 256 MB in Dimm 3)
Video Card = Nvidia Riva Tnt2 Model 64 32MB
soundcard = Creative sound blaster live
Hard drives = 2 western digital 40GB drives (not sure of RPM speeds), (I am also thinking of raiding them together with a ATA/100 PCI card, is this worth doing?)
Drives = Lite-on DVD-RW 16X duel layer Burner
PCI Cards = Nexxtec USB 2.0 PCI card
PSU = Stock 250W
other modifcations = I'm currently modifying stock "mini convertable" case, to hold a 120mm mains fan in the front of case. (wind tunnel pc)
If you guys could recommend any future upgrades, or see anything that could cause me problems, or think that I'm wasting my money on somthing that's not going to benifit me a hole lot, please let me know.
tanks alot
