Hi,
I'm looking to boost the performance of my computer by getting a new processor and adding a second graphics card - but am not precisely sure what to do.
(Basically, I got Call of Duty 4 - it looks shocking on my PC and I want to see if I can get a bit more power out of my system without starting from scratch!!)
I have a
Asus A8N-SLI motherboard with one
Radeon X1600 Series graphics card.
The processor is a AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 3800+ (Socket 939) and I have 3GB of RAM.
My questions are as follows:
- Can I add another identical X1600 graphics card to increase graphics performance?
- If not, what would be the best upgrade for graphics cards?
- What would be a good upgrade for my processor?
NB. I did notice on the Asus site a comment regarding the motherboard:
'Under SLI mode : support two identical SLI-ready graphics cards'
But wasn't sure if that actually answered my first question (I'm not too crash hot on hardware!!)
Cheers guys!
