New computer

[brijar]

I agree, Intel is kicking . I have an EVGA MB and it's 100% amazing, except I unfortunately slacked on it, so no DDR2 1066 for me :(. And no SLI or Crossfire.

For a video card, I would highly suggest an ATI 4830. I just got one for about $85, and it kicks butt!!! Easily pwns my year old $75 Nvidia 8600GT. Easily. And it's at a great price.

If you want to go all out on the video card, an ATI 4870 X2 w/ 2GB DDR5 is about top of the line in my book. lol some new ones probably came out in the last 5 seconds that can beat it tho .

RAM is really cheap, so not much room to scrimp on it lol. $35 for 4GB of DDR2 1066 is a pretty darn good deal. I think that's some corsair stuff, but not sure. My dad just got 4GB of DDR2 800 for like $28, so RAM shouldn't be a problem.

Good luck,
Brijar!!!

(First, I think you mean gig (GB) lol)
You would most probably gain some performance, though it depends on how fast the ram is and what OS you are running and what all you do with the computer.

If you are going to upgrade, make sure you have enough RAM slots for all your RAM, and that you get the right kind of RAM. If you had to upgrade to 1GB of ram, I would guess that it is DDR RAM, which, for some reason, is more expensive than DDR2 RAM.

Good luck,
Brijar!!!

Edit: oops you added something. Yup, if you got another one of those, then you could put it in there with the 1GB you already have and you'd probably see some performance boost.
