Is it time for a new computer?

I know that this isn't exactly AMD related, but I was curious if it
was time for a better computer because a few games have been a little on the
slow side. The visualizations in WMP9 are somewhat slow when I'm using full
screen. Any opinions would be appreciated. I believe my computer does meet
the requirements for the new "Longhorn", but I think it just barely meets
the requirements. Anyway, here are my system specs. Anything that you
think should be upgraded or is bad if not the whole thing, let me know. Any
recommendations would be welcome... Also, if for any reason I wanted to
sell my computer, how much do you think I should sell it for? It's around a
year and half old. (I had it booted up the first time in October of 2002
and I've upgraded lots of things since.)

Didn't you ask much the same question in your post 2 hours previous: "Slow
CPU- I think"???

Your hardware is fine, most anyone would love to have your computer. Are
you bragging?

Your problems are not hardware related. You probably have
incorrect drivers, badly installed software, a computer full of spyware or
a virus. I answered you question before.

Larry Gagnon

Definitely time for a new computer.
As a matter of fact I think you should pack the whole works in a couple of
boxes and send it to me for proper disposal.
Gotta watch the environment you know, and not just anyone can safely get rid
of a computer as bad as yours.
E-Mail me for the shipping address.
The service is free, but you have to pay for the postage.

Can I send you mine too? That sounds like a great deal but I have a Asus
Nforce 2 ultra 400 board with a AMD 2600+ CPU, Visiontek Ti 4200/128. I
guess its time to upgrade again.
What your addy? I'll send it Priority.

Thank you for your help.

It used to be that I was bragging about it, but I'm serious now...I've been
told right and left that I should can my GeForce3 Ti200 video card. Maybe I
should... I don't know. It's almost two years old now; it's not the
computer guru that it used to be.

If you can spend $200 get a 9800pro or a FX5900, if $300 get a 6800 or
X800.

rms

Your setup is fine.
Your games are slow because of your videocard,get a faster/newer one.
Also are you on xp pro as os?
Get another 512mb of the same speed ram(can be higher but don't take slower
ram) because windows xp likes 1Gb.
Maybe you want to use the wiretrick to unlock the lower multipliers for your
xp2400.
Then you can set 12,5 x 166fsb (333mhz as is your ram).This will give you
speed increase.
You probably have a higher multiplier set to reach 2.26Ghz but you get more
speed from higher fsb in general.
I run a TI4400 and it's getting slow for the latest games,only way to make
things smoother is for me to oc my xp2400 also to 2.2Ghz.

I think the main problem is that the motherboard is older, so it won't
support anything faster than what I've got it set at. My motherboard is an
Asus A7V333 motherboard with revision 1.xx, not 2. I think that's the main
problem. The BIOS is version 1017.

I
should... I don't know. It's almost two years old now; it's not the
computer guru that it used to be.

Can I send you mine too? That sounds like a great deal but I have a
Asus
Nforce 2 ultra 400 board with a AMD 2600+ CPU, Visiontek Ti
4200/128.
I
guess its time to upgrade again.
What your addy? I'll send it Priority.

Thank you for your help.

Definitely time for a new computer.
As a matter of fact I think you should pack the whole works in a
couple
of
boxes and send it to me for proper disposal.
Gotta watch the environment you know, and not just anyone can
safely
get
rid
of a computer as bad as yours.
E-Mail me for the shipping address.
The service is free, but you have to pay for the postage.

I know that this isn't exactly AMD related, but I was curious if
it
was time for a better computer because a few games have been a
little
on
the
slow side. The visualizations in WMP9 are somewhat slow when
I'm
using
full
screen. Any opinions would be appreciated. I believe my
computer
does
meet
the requirements for the new "Longhorn", but I think it just
barely
meets
the requirements. Anyway, here are my system specs. Anything
that
you
think should be upgraded or is bad if not the whole thing, let
me
know.
Any
recommendations would be welcome... Also, if for any reason I
wanted
to
sell my computer, how much do you think I should sell it for?

I think the main problem is that the motherboard is older, so it won't
support anything faster than what I've got it set at. My motherboard is
an
Asus A7V333 motherboard with revision 1.xx, not 2. I think that's the
main
problem. The BIOS is version 1017.

Just like I said earlier, when I tried that, the computer wouldn't even
boot.

yes a rev 1.xx would probably not be so hot on the fsb front, also you only
have 4x AGP so any new video cards would probably not be able to perform at
their best.

Maybe just get a new mobo - can get some good deals on single and dual
channel nforce and sis and KT600 boards - and keep the rest. Better agp
support and faster fsb might even get a bit better performance on your
geforce 3. But maybe I am not one to coomment on video cards as I am still
using a 64mb geforce 2 mx 400, but I am not that much of a gamer.
