AsusTek Computer INC
M2V-MX
PCI and PCI Express
DDR2 2560mb. Frequency 333.3mhz
AMD Athlon 64 3200+
Core speed= 2000.0mhz
Power supply make and model= Ezcool 450watt atx-450 jsp
Below the +12VDCline is 25A
United Kingdom
I would also like to purchase a new CPU in the near/distant future. I only play games such as Sims 2 and the simulator games such as Bus driver, most of the 18 wheels of steel games and online ones such as pogo. I do not play games such as World of Warcraft or any such other game. Other than the fan on my CPU i do not have any other, would it be worth getting a generic fan just to keep it cooler in there, i recently upgraded to 2gigs of ram, giving me 2.5, i used crucials website to locate what ram to have. I was at a computer fair over the weekend and i told a man what motherboard i had and straight away he showed me a 512mb graphics card, i cannot remember the make but it was a well-known make and it would have gone into my PCI express slot, it was around £30, he said it would improve it a lot, i was also told it would take the strain off of my RAM? If possible, could i also have a price for a CPU, unless my current one is suitable? MY budget it only around £30 for each. Main uses for my computer (other than the games) are creating and editing various microsoft office documents, using photoshop and downloading/playing and transferring music, which can also be a drag. Before i formatted my computer and put in the new ram it would freeze with the simplest task, such as changing the save location for a document. I feel it does still freeze every now and then even with the new ram. Playing games is stressful when it judders along, it may, for about 2 seconds run more smoothly, but as i said, not for long.
The graphics card i was shown had a TV out
Please let me know it you need anymore information, thanks in advance for taking the time to help me!
