Well Im a new forumer so forgive me if I posted in the wrong section.
Is my computer still upgradeable? I bought it in late 2006.
Its a Dell Dimension E520.
If yes, read on. If no, then ignore the rest of the thread.
Hm yeah. My computer cant run most games like Crysis smoothly anymore.
So I've decided to upgrade it. Its my first time doing so.
Some specs of my com. If you need more, dont hesistate to ask.
Processor: Intel® Core2 CPU 6300 @ 1.86GHz (2 CPUs)
Memory: 1022MB RAM
Video Card: Radeon X1300/X1550 Series
I've got about $480 to spend and Im from Singapore.
So yeah, what would you recommend?
I just want to run most games smoothly and dont wish to spend too much.
I dont need a monster, but if its achievable with that budget, I dont mind.
The main things I hope to upgrade are
the CPU speed
the system RAM
and the Video Card.
On a side note:
Is the RAM = the computer speed? I seriously have to upgrade my com's speed. Its taking like 10mins just to power up or shut down.
If not, then what determines the computer's speed?
And is the processor upgradeable? Its got me wondering for some time.
I hope that at least someone would give some advice.
I posted on other forums and no one replied me.
Please. All help is appreciated.
