The computer world is changing rapidly. It seems like if you do not upgrade your computer system within 6 months, your computer is outdated and within a year it will be obsolete or so it seems that way. I just finished upgrading my system only to find out that I will need to upgrade once more to be able to play new games such as Half-Life 2 and Battlefield 2 that will be coming out. The next upgrade I will do to my system will be around X-mas time and I’m just wondering what you guys think what specs on my computer should I upgrade. Here is my current system spec:
-Windows XP Professional SP2
-Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe
-AMD Athlon 3200+ XP Barton @ 400 FSB
-ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 256 MB
-1024 MB (two 512 sticks) of 333 Ram
-Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro
-Creative MegaWorks 250D-THX
I’m a heavy gamer and right now I’m running Battlefield Vietnam fine without any problems. I have all my settings on high and everything runs smooth and the graphics are nice looking. I say why should you upgrade your computer when you run everything currently on high and have no problems but the thing is I’m going to get Half-Life 2 and Battlefield 2 and I’m just a little worried my system will not run smooth on my current specs. That is why I’m wondering/asking what things should I upgrade. I heard my system is currently better than the average gamer but I know if I don’t upgrade soon, I’ll fall behind the average gamer. If you guys would reply/respond to my post, I’ll appreciate it. I got a hell of a system but I feel it will need a more powerful system for HL2/BF2. ;-)
