Would I be better off upgrading to GeForce Ti 200 64MB or
spending money towards a P4 1.7Ghz or Athlon 1800, with
appropriate Motherboard.
Or GeForce Ti 500 64MB versus motherboard/Cpu upgrade(P4 1.7
or Athlon 1800)?
Current games include F1 2001, N4, CMR2, IL2,CFS2, RTCW &
MOHAA.
I have about $400 to $500 to spend.
Thanks,
Kent
GeForce about $150
1800+ about $160
256 DDR RAM about $75
KT266a mainboard about $100

Your problem with doing just one or the other is that you either end up with
a video card that's the major bottleneck, or a CPU that's the major
bottleneck.

for $500, you can build a hell of an Athlon XP DDR system with plenty of
RAM.
I think you can do an AthlonXP 2000+, Abit KG7 and 512MB DDR setup for $500.
I've been through this myself, and I've found N4 to be just as processor
intensive as it is video card intensive.
