I am working on my second build right now. This time I want to breathe new life into one old family computer
Intel S 478 I845E mainboard
256MB DDR Ram from Sattron
Intel P4 2.66 MHZ
40 GB Hardrive Seagate Baracuda
I got some neat recommendations to enhance components in my recent spec thread.
My GPU of choice for the P4 system is either a Geforce 2 ti or the Geforce 3 ti 200.
I could purchase both cards for a similar price but the GF 3 would be a bit more expensive.
After spending quite some money on my first voodoo 3 build I want to do the second build on budget so I am more inclined towards the cheaper gf 2.
But in case I could get a much better performance with the gf 3 compared to the gf2 I might reconsider my choice.
On paper, the gf 3 would be the better choice due to its support for pixel shaders.
the main field of use for that system are only 2000 and 2001 games which means that I am not sure if shaders are necessary to enjoy the games of that area in its full glory.??
What are your opinions on that matter?
