Okay, my 2.8GHZ celeron sckt 478    1gb 3200 SDRAM   x1600PRO isnt cutting it....



Would a


athlon 64 3500++
7900GT
1GB 3200 ram (one stick)   (add that to my current 1gb and its 2gigs)
(current HDD)
(im not a soundwhore so I dont worry about soundcards and stuff)
(I didnt forget motherboard its some asus A8N micro ATX)



would the above specs make me happy ? I get no more than 30FPS (if im lucky) at todays current games....

Im not aiming for high end, just something that'll let me have high on todays games at a constant 40++ FPS im sick of this almost 4 year old rig

More RAM definately.  You should get a cheap soundcard because ANYTHING sounds much better than integrated as far as sound cards go, plus it makes BF2 go faster too.  Just get a slightly faster Pentium instead of a Celeron and you should be fine there.  Get an X1900 of some sort, I hear they're good.


Also be thankful that you can even buy that, i'm stuck with a 2.2 P4 and Radeon 9600 AGP.

My old rig was a 3500+, 1GB PC3200 RAM, X800XT and ran BF2 just fine.  You should have no probs with your planned setup.

As always though, with AMD X2's getting cheaper, you would probably not regret stepping up on the CPU end.  Just depends on your budget.

You should not notice TOO much difference in onboard sound and keep in mind that the best you can expect from a soundcard is a couple extra FPS.  No big deal either way there.....
