    If you could change anything on this PC...

    What would it be?
    I'm buying a new comp just wondering what you would change if you could. I don't have too much money left so don't say 2x7800GTX's or anything :P

    Windows XP Proffesional SP2
    AMD 3200+
    GeForce nVidia 6800GT 256MB
    1024mb Corsair VaulueSelect
    200GB Hard Drive

    Oh and btw my old comp:

    Windows XP Home SP2
    Intel Celeron 2.5ghz
    512 RAM
    6600GT
    80GB hard drive

      The 6800GT is a fine card and the only thing I'd do is get 2gigs of RAM

          The CPU won't make a difference in BF2, video editing and other apps yes, but BF2 no. Your 3200+, I'm assuming it's an Athlon 64, is plenty for this game. The memory will show you the greatest improvement.

              and if you can, a 3700+, not really much performance increase but is a good processor if u HAVE to get one.

                        1 Gig will do you just fine for now. That's just the only thing I would change if I could. The rig you posted will play very well.

                          Um, 2 gigs for better performance in BF2 and better perf overall. If you plan on ocing your cpu, get good ram and replace the current ram, and that will help. If you just want better stuff for gaming, get a 7800GT or GTX. Or go for the X1800XL, it has the same clock speeds as a X800XT, but it uses a 90nm core and better tech that equals it with the 7800GT. BUt it's more expensive than the 7800GT. BUt if you like ATi, that's still a great card.

                            Yep like they said above, 2GB of RAM would be the first thing to improve in that system, and if you're going to want to overclock more, get better quality RAM.
