Hi,

I have decided not to sell my PC Tower and would like help as to what upgrade to do, I have around Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£100 and was thinking about either Ram or Graphic Card.

I am looking to speed the computer up and make games play smoother. As I tried a couple of demos out, both racing games and the steering was like press left or right and it did a sharp left or right as it seemed to freeze, unsure if this was just the demos, however games like Need for Speed: Carbon (Latest) plays fine, quake 4 seems to play fine.

What would you recommend to upgrade

Ram upgrade to 2gb (2x 1gb)

Or

Graphic card upgrade to Nvidia GeForce 7600GS 512MB DDR2 AGP8x

This has to last me till my new Build which will not be till the end of 2007, when I plan to upgrade to dual/quad core.

Regards,
Garry
