Hey, I'm not very knowledgeable with computers, so I'm hoping someone could help me, I got 400$, but I don't want to spend it all, lol. Maybe 100$ at most. I want to upgrade my PC to where it could run the next generation MMO's, or shooters. Like Blade N' Soul, etc.

Anyway here my computer specs, please tell me if i need to give anymore info, And i really appreciate this, thanks again!

OS- Windows XP home SP3
AmD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3600+
2.0GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 8800GT

are you using 32bit ? if so, get Windows 7 and upgrade ram to at least 3gb.

Umm ya, I'm a college student so I get windows 7 for 30$, i'm sure you do too

, but ya, thats already a given the windows 7, maybe I should've put that, and for the 3gb ram, whats some good ram, I checked new egg, and I really don't know what to buy? If you could post a link of some, I would really appreciate that.

Ok, I think this is it, is it under Mainboard because if it is, mines an NVIDiA Geforce 6150? lol.

EDIT: My computer is a Dell Dimension E521, I upgraded the power supply to support my graphics card 8800gt geforce, I've put more ram into it, and I think thats it.

TKkira · 11-29-2009, 05:15 AM

that sounds like a VideoCard? and it would be under Mainboard so thats right 0.0

but i'm guessing this is what it meant Asus A8N-VM CSM GeForce 6150 Motherboard

Okay i figured it out and this is the ram you need
