I'm graduating in 2 weeks.

I was wondering if it's better to upgrade or just get new parts and stuff

Currently, I'm on XP SP2, 3.0GHz processor, 512MB RAM, integrated audio/video

I'd like to upgrade the RAM and video card at least.

I was talking with static and he said to get a Core 2 Quad, but when it decreases in price it'll be july/august..

I'll show you what I shown him which I might be interested in

processor

motherboard

RAM to be comptaible with above processor

The RAM I have now is PC3200 (DDR 400)

Even now, the price for the CPU isn't all that outrageous, but it's always better to wait for a better deal. Who knows, you might find something better for a reasonable price by then.

I could get two of the last ones. $120+ tax =~ $132 then another one which would be $132 and then total would be $264, save some money, and tax

I'm thinking of an 8800, would a GTX be better than GTS or vice versa?

Here you will need this to help you get your foot out of the back of your throat, looks llike its in there pretty deep. And what is that on your face? Egg?! *hands Kim a washcloth*

Of course the GTX is better, but it's a bit more expensive.
