Hello Veech,
Upgrade the RAM first. Even older titles like Far Cry, UT2004, Doom 3 and HL2
would only run smoothly for me once I had 1GB (and IIRC even 768MB). You
probably know this, but keep in mind that more of "slower" RAM (ie. not the
fancy
Redline / Ballistix / ??? stuff) is always better
Both the video card and the processor will make a huge difference. You may
find yourself better off, though with a 3800+ X2. Incredibly, Incredibly
overclockable. I haven't overclocked spit since the Celeron 300A, but the
3800X2 overclocks as a virtual guarantee in every configuration I've ever

What motherboard would you recommend for OCing the 3800+ X2? I would need
PCI-express slot for the video card.
And would an overcolocked 3800+ x2 significantly outperform the 4000?

Hello Chris,
I'll give you that, though aren't Sempron 939s only available to OEMs right

Do those have 128KB or 256KB of L2 cache? I guess that they'll support
AMD64, CnQ, etc. off the bat? Also, what speed grades are
Ditto. I went to 1 gig and stuttering stopped for many games as well. I
guess they need to pre-cache lots and lots of pics and textures these
days. :)

Been true since about last summer. Now you have sloppily coded games
like Battlefield 2 gobbling up 2GB! :

best single core for around 200?
