RAM question
hi, currently i am using 384 mb of SDRAM on my k7s5A motherboard with a 1.2 gig AMD processor. ive been recently playing a few of the latest games out and i am finding that my system is running slow. my question is would i benefit alot more from usin DDR ram compared to SDRAM. and also would i benefit alot more for updating my processor i.e. to a 2.4 AMD Athlon XP.
oh yeh im using a 64mb AGP Geforce 440MXX.
any ideas would b gud.
thanks

RAM is good and all, but it cannot replace processing speed. Get the faster chip and a new video card.

Good luck!

Processor first. The video card needs a powerful CPU to get maximum performance. Later, consider upgrading to DDR. It's not critical like the CPU is though.
