Maniacal
the green Napoleon
I am planning on upgrading my computer soon. I have:
256 ram
Pentium 4 2.20 ghz processor
Intel *insert bunch of #s and slashes* Graphics Controller
SoundMAX Integrated Difital Audio
C; drive: 55gigs, 18 gigs left.
Dell
PCI?
Can't think of much else that affects games, but I don't know much either.
I pland to raise my ram to 2 gigs and I have decided on a ATI Radeon x800xl graphics card. And i'm not sure if I need/should to do anything about the audio. Also, should I bother with more memory (is that possiable?) as I will be unitnstalling several games. And I don't want to lose anything I've saved or exceed $1000 CANADIAN unless I have to, I want my comp to be able to play say, AOE3 + Civ4, (I already have checked with the possiable specs for AOE3). Also, the 2 gigs of ram, um, should I get that much or just one gig? Also, prices pls?
Thanks for your help.
