Ah Gotcha. In that case I'm going to build this machine in spite of your Canadian bacon hatrage, buy the USB to Bacon cord (Canadian edition) then fork out all the Canadian bacon I can get. Take over US bacon markets, then force you to eat (great) Canadian bacon.Burrito wrote:just to suit your bacon-eating well being.Jcart wrote:Okay.. I get it.. so why do I need a new processor?

At minimum, I'd jump to a dual-core processor, that helps loads on many games. What audio card are you running? Your FSB and other chipset settings may do better with some tuning. Definitely upping to a dual-video setup will help too. Is your HDD SATA 1 or 2? Some lower cost solutions would be looking at upgrading the cooling you have which will give the existing video card more headroom and help cool many other components. I wouldn't go as far as submersion into mineral oil, but may a liquid cooled setup.

Anyways, despite the number of replies am I riht in saying you have a PCI Video card JCart? I always though PCI Video hardware was an immediate loss anyway but then, I'm not a gamer even by a fraction. If I require a powerful computer it's mostly for compiling source code faster
