I'm thinking of upgrading my son's box but I'm not sure what would give the best bang for the bucks. System is:
asrock 4coredual-sata2
e4300
2gb stick of ddr2 [so single channel]
7950gx2
running xp pro
Mostly the box is used for:
social networking
web browsing
minecraft
a little video processing
The aim of the upgrade would be to improve the minecraft experience. The board can take things like e7500's or q6600's, both common on ebay uk. Or we can put in 4gb ram, though it can only use 3.5gb max. He's been told ram is ram more important for this than a faster cpu.
Probably can't afford both upgrades atm, hence the question. Grateful for advice 😉.
