Well

i think i really need a little upgrade
my system

xp1600@192x10.5
Albatr ti4280PV
abit kr7-a raid
512 infineon 2700

it doesn´t run doom3 full detail, but it runs everything smooth "enough" for me, except for loading times (mmorpgs) etc... are getting a litlle anoying so i decided to upgrade my little beast a bit

i was thinking of an extra 512 ram , 120gig hdd and a gforce 6600gt ?

or could someone else recommend me something better ?
and if i add another 512 ram, does it have to be the same brand (infineon) ?

depends on the budget

if you play mmorpg's, the extra 512mb will do wonders for you

it's not a must to get the same brand and/or model but it's advisable.

the 120 gig, if you can spare a few extra bucks, I'd go for a beefier model, gig's come real cheap nowadays... offcourse if you don't need it you shouldn't.

the vidcard, depends on your budget for the price of a GT, you're only other option would be a 9800pro wich are very hard to come by nowadays but if you're again willing to spend a little more , do a little software modding and hope you get lucky, you could get a 6800le or 6800 and unlock the pipelines with rivatuner.
