Hi Peeps,
As I have my nice new system, my old one is now sitting unused - I had the thought that as it's now 'gathering dust' that I could use it to LAN the odd older game if the gf wanted a go or I had a mate round...
It's currently running:
(Mobo unknown, part of an HP pre-build circa 2001)
P4 2.6ghz (best capable)
2GB DDR memory (max capable)
250W PSU
X1950pro (originally upgraded from 9200)
It's not bad - it runs M2:TW at medium settings.
Basically; If I were to get a bigger PSU and another X1950 would it get bottlenecked by the P4? Was hoping to be able to go from 256 to 512mb graphics...
I've looked around and a 400W PSU + a second hand 1950 would be about £40-£45. Would it even be worth it?
