I built my system at least 6 years ago if not longer and I haven't used the desktop in 4 years. Diabolo 3 is coming out and I would like to play it on my desktop but I fear I might need to build a new system unless I can figure out a way to meet the system requirements:
AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 5600+ 2.8 GHz
NVIDIA® GeForce® 260 or ATI Radeon™ HD 4870 or better
2 GB RAM
What I have now is:
ASUS A8N SLI Premium
AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ OC'd to 2.5Ghz socket 939 Manchester
2 Sticks of 1 GB PC 3200
Nvida 4 Geforce Graphics Card (Not sure the exact model, will check tonight)
My question is, can I do one of the following?
1) Put in a new socket 939 chip say an AMD X2 4400?
2) Overclock the current chip to 2.7GHZ and hope for the best?
3) Purchase a laptop with an i5 (i know its Intel) and HDMI is to the TV and off we go?
4) Build a new system but not blow the bank
Sorry for the long winded post. I appreciate your help!
