New computer
Would I be able to tell the difference between these two processors- Athlon XP 3200+ and the Athlon XP 3500+... would it be really noticeable when gaming etc? Also, which is better out of these graphics cards: 6600GT, X700 pro, X800, 6800LE, specifically for gaming?
Cheers.

Re: New computer
I'd reccomend the 3500+ as it is faster - Not by much, only .2 of a Ghz - But I like my speed, me :P
I'd reccomend the X800 or the 6800LE as they are both very nice graphics cards with many features and give very good FPS speeds

Re: New computer
OK... can someone help me then... I'm on Mesh, and looking at this computer http://www.meshcomputers.com/updated...scendaplus.htm but would like to upgrade it slightly to make it up to around 900 quid... for gaming needs mainly. I've got a choice between upgrading the processor and graphics card, or upgrading the peripherals (keyboard+mouse, sound card etc)

Re: New computer
£940 if you just upgrade the GPU to the X800XL
Wouldn't bother with the CPU upgrade or keyboard, etc. GPU will prob give most noticeable difference.

Re: New computer
Not worth upgrading the sound card/speakers/keyboard then?
