Whats up I'm new here. I know that this board is full of need help topics so I'm going to add to the mix. My computer was complete crap, not enough ram and integrated graphics meant that I couldn't play crap as far as games go. I'm getting a new pc in feb (DX10, vista) so I didn't want to breakt he bank. I didn't change the cpu but everything else I upgraded so here's where I'm sitting.
Sempron 1.8 oc'd 1.98. (The bios are locked I had to use clock gen to oc it that much. I can't get it any higher.)
1024 DDR 3200
Nvidia 7600GS 512MB
It runs games pretty well, but not great so here's the question. Is it worth my 100-200 bucks to upgrade my processor(its a socket 754 by the way so I'm pretty limited) I can only go up to something like an Athalon64 2.2-2.4 ghz max. Does my old cpu hold me back that much, or should I save my money for the new computer I'm buying in February? Will I notice enough of a difference to make it worth my money?
