My old machine has about given up the ghost. I play a lot of the Facebook apps games and am having a tremendous amount of trouble with them. I understand these games are of the beta flash format. The problem I am having is very slow play, and on Car Town, very erratic performance when racing. Now, here are the issues with my machine. Of 3gb RAM installed, I am only seeing 2.09gb. One of the slots is out on the MB leaving me with 3. The machine has crashed bad 2 times, and after having it wiped and loaded by the local shop the performance and stability just keeps getting worse. I have a lot of new components in the machine and it would be more cost effective to fix what I have. My question is, what do I need to be running for components to play the Facebook games fast and smooth?
Here is a break down of the machine:
Started as a Compaq SR1426NX Presario
OS: Windows XP SP3
HD: Seagate 160gb
Opt. Drives: 2- Lite On IDE
MB: ASUS goldfish3
PS: Corsair 450W bronze
VC: PNY- GS8400HD 512MB
I'm thinking of installing a MB/CPU combo using an i5 cpu and a good ASUS MB w/ tri chnl memory and installing 64bit Windows7. I do not know if my programs and utilities will work with the new OS.
I just am hoping that one of you experts here can help me out so as I can play these games and enjoy them!
Thank-you!
