I'm planning on replacing my 1800+ paly with a 2600+ tbred (note my board only supports 266 fsb, no agp/pci lock). My system specs are listed below in my sig. Basically I want to make this setup last for another year or so. I'm not talking about hardcore gaming here...just getting by.
My question is, would it be worthwhile to spend $80 or so on another 512MB of DDR2700. I'm not sure if the bottleneck in my system (for games like farcry) would be the cpu, gpu or the ram. If I have a gig of 2700 will my cpu and gpu be fast enough for me to see the advantages of the extra ram?
Now I know I could get another board and get a better system, but I'm not looking to drop a lot of cash here. I'm kind of planning on doing a complete system build sometime probably in the next year or so.
