do you NEED the upgrade (eg, games wont run very fast etc)

i`m running an overlcocked 1800+ atm and run games fine on an el-cheapo
Ti4200

my next cpu upgrade will be most probably be to the 64bit arena depending
whats mainstream and what prices components are in a year or 18months.

if you must get a new cpu then go for the best you can afford, i`d choose
the barton core, but the days are numbered with 64bit chips out now.

Hiya all,

Currently have the XP2100 (Palamino) and looking to upgrade. The mobo
(A7V8X) supports up to XP3000 (Barton) but I dont have that kind of cash.
What would you advise an effective upgrade might be? (Havent decided
whether I will o/c or not - too much work to be done for cooling - new

case,
new fans etc). Mem is currently 512 meg pc2700.

Use will mainly be gaming and existing graphics card is the Sapphire 9600
Pro.

Cheers, Shawk.
