I have a friend who has recently got full control of a computer. It is a year or two old, and the specs are not that great. He wants to be able to play the latest games, not too concerned about graphics but he would like medium settings if possible.
Here are the specs:
Pentium 4 1.4GHz Processor
Unknown Motherboard
256MB RAM
GeForce 2 Graphics Card
He is looking at three possible upgrades ATM.
1. Replacing the motherboard and CPU with an Athlon XP 2400+ and a fairly cheap motherboard.
2. Adding 512MB of memory.
3. Upgrading the graphics card to a GeForce 4 Ti4200.
Which of these upgrades would be best for his system? Im talking about the best performance/price ratio. I am thinking RAM at the moment, because 256 is rapidly becoming the minimum for new games. Any advice?
