Upgrading my PC // Roundtable 1  |   Order by default Post by 2much4U // Apr 21, 2008, 3:02pm 2much4U Total Posts: 430 I just got my check from turbosqid: $250.00. I also got an additional $25.00 in the mail from a family member. What kind of update can I make for my desktop, and what should I? My current setup: * A 20" monitor on the left, 17" on the right * A 500 GB SATA HDD, a 160 GB SATA HDD, and a 120 EIDE HDD * An Intel Core 2 Duo processor (2.4 GHz) * An NVidia GeForce 7600 GS video card * A 4.2 HD surround sound system * A DVD +/- RW drive, and a CD RW drive * An analog TV tuner * 3 GBs of RAM Post by trueBlue // Apr 21, 2008, 3:46pm trueBlue Total Posts: 1761 Video Card would be my first choice!

The Q6600 and Q9300 are around that price. Post by jamesmc // Apr 21, 2008, 5:39pm jamesmc Total Posts: 2566 (opens large rain coat lined with computer parts) "Pssst kid, com 're. I have a rare opportunity for you. Hot deals fresh from China. Right off the docks, if you know what I mean. Flash the cash and let's deal. Oh, and if anybody asks, you never saw me."

You'll be full and happy and will no longer care about anything electronic. Post by 2much4U // Apr 22, 2008, 7:09am 2much4U Total Posts: 430 50 bucks? Two large pizzas with everything and a case of beer. You'll be full and happy and will no longer care about anything electronic. Beer? Ummm...I'm 17. ;) I think I'll go for an upgrade to quad core if I wait for the price to drop. If not, I'll just sell my HDDs and get a TB or so of storage. Then I'll have enough for a good sound card!
