Hi

I've been playing a new MMORPG called Darkfall and am having long loading times and i also have to play it on lower video settings

so i want to upgrade my old PC
as im only playing this game (and abit of CS:S) and every other programs i use on this PC is fine
im not looking to spend loads of money on it just to play this game
the thing is my PC is very old
im using a
AMD X2 939 4200
DDR1 512mbx2
7800GT
so i dont know if there is a point of me upgrading it
was thinking of upgrading the memory hoping it helps loading times
but 2x1gig DDR1 are expensive being a phasing out memory
and not knowing if it will really help

want to get a new video card as high end cards looks very cheap
but is there a point with the old CPU and RAM im using??

any1 have any advice??
should i upgrade something?
or i shouldnt bother till i really need a faster PC??
