What would you upgrade first?

Oh it says you have two video adapters.

4GB will be uselsss w/32 bit proc...

Yea don't believe that, it lies.

And the Processor is 64-bit and I have a 64-bit OS I can use.  I've used both 64-bit and 4Gb of RAM with this Processor before so I know it handles it just fine.

Alright then yes RAM...I've used the Blackine Enhanced...pretty damn good. Mushkin is great.

Creative Soundblaster X-Fi Gamer.  There's one for about $90 that fits a PCI slot.  It has it's own processor and RAM and will offload all audio processing from the CPU freeing that for other uses.

If you have a 64 bit OS get the RAM.  If not you'll still gain about .3-.6 Gb of useable system RAM.  If the costs and latencies are the same go with 1066.  If either the cost or the latencies are lower get the 800.

None, the system runs AH at 50+ FR at max settings (4K shadows), but some parts are showing their age.

Well, I guess my po' Nebraska farm boy heritage is showing through, but if nothing ain't broke seems like a waste to go about fixin' on it...

Take the gal out and spend it on her!

I have this curse of electronics not lasting long around me so I try to replace them before it dies and I am without it for a week or more.
Actually amazing these parts have lasted so long, it's a record for me.


Thanks for all the suggestions, now to see how much I have to spend for parts.

Seems to me that GPU RAM eats into the system RAM.  So going to 4GB is a good idea. It will allow you to load the entire game into RAM rather than part of it.
