Musopticon? Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 Double the hz count. I could really do with an ugrade right now. A gig of ram and my 6600 are fine, but my Athlon 2100+ is coughing blood. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food.

astr0creep Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 A processor. My P4 1.8 is officially outdated now, thanks to Oblivion. http://entertainmentandbeyond.blogspot.com/
Hassat Hunter Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 (edited) The best videocard Nvidia has to offer... in SLI! (Or is that counted as 2 upgrades?) Edited April 3, 2006 by Hassat Hunter ^ I agree that that is such a stupid idiotic pathetic garbage hateful retarded scumbag evil satanic nazi like term ever created. At least top 5.

WITHTEETH Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 Sound Card Sound blaster, whatever the new model is for around $130. I would typically go for something uber expensive, but it wouldn't be economical in the long run since i could transfer this into my new machine next winter. Always outnumbered, never out gunned!

Pidesco Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 For free? I'd get the most expensive graphics card on the market, sell it, use part of the money to get a Geforce 7600GT and keep the rest of the money for something else.

SteveThaiBinh Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 (edited) I didn't bring a monitor with me, so I'll be getting a 17-inch monitor as soon as I get my computer through customs. Moving from 15 to 17 inches will be a big step for me. It would be lovely if it were free, but alas, the Monitor Fairy doesn't live anywhere near here. I plan to abandon my computer two years from now. The AGP motherboard will be obsolete before then (if it's not already). So no more upgrades - it'll be a full replacement next.

Llyranor Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 Given Valve's record, that'd be 2010. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
metadigital Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 Not at all. VALVe already use the Havok engine plug-in for physics calculations, it's just a matter of using the PPU instructions (as an optional branch, for those with a PPU). It's actually not that difficult: more like cut-and-paste than re-buld from scratch. OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
Meshugger Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 Definately a new graphics card. But then ofcourse i have to get a new motherboard to support the new graphics card, and new processor as well, since newer motherboards doesn't support Socket A. Meh.

Invoker Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 A better motherboard. The current one is utter crap. Bugs? Klingon Software does not have 'Bugs'. It has FEATURES and they are too sophisticated for a Romulan pig like you to understand! HK-47: "Recitation: First, weapon selection is critical. If I see one more idiot attacking a Jedi with a blaster pistol, then I'll kill them myself." HK-47: "Answer: Select grenades, sonic screamers, cluster rockets and plasma charges. Mines are also effective, since many Jedi will run to meet you in hand to hand combat. Silly Jedi."

It's actually not that difficult: more like cut-and-paste than re-buld from scratch. Agreed, but the physics effects being currently used by HL2/Havok are pretty much gimmicks and (IMO) do not add substantially to the overall gameplay experience. I wonder if Havok was designed with sufficient forethought to truly harness the capabilities of a dedicated PPU beyond providing a cool gravity-gun like toy.
