MrBaseball Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 What may be hurting you is that Athlon processor, those things are a piece. I know they are cheaper, but I suggest if you get a new computer to avoid an Athlon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxbjr Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Lower end Athlons are bad, higher end Athlons are good as any high end Pentium. What ever you do, stay away from Windows Vista OS untill they've had time to work out the bugs and fix it. (Remember Windows ME or XP 1st release? ) It usually takes Microsoft until SP2 to fix everything. I'd also hold out until you can get a 3.0 Ghz processor or better. That way you won't have to upgrade/replace it in a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleMo Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 your video card is from 2002. You need to step it up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBaseball Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 What's wrong with an Athlon? It's more a personal opinion. I had one, hated it. I didn't like the performance of my Athlon in the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NDfightingIrish Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 I have an athlon 3200+ and it works great I like it better than my previous pentium it really is preference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickel2 Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 what's wrong with an athlon??? intel seems to have a great deal of respect for amd these days. my athlons are faster than a speeding bullet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MancrushOnNomar Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 I have an Athlon XP64 3200+ and I absolutely love it. Way cheaper than a comparable Intel processor, and faster. Keep in mind, the actual clock speed of a processor isn't important at all. It's the rate at which information transfers through it. And if you're upgrading your video card, I highly recommend getting a 256mb card. 128 won't cut it if you're pulling high end games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
