Need For Speed Most Wanted at 1280 x 1024 with full antialias. CPU and memory play a big part too... Yup, even your benchmark report says your bottleneck is your video card (Smilie) if you can, one more stick of 512MB RAM will improve the overall performance.
Okay. It says:
  • Your memory is a little too fast for your processor. You may wish to upgrade your processor for better performance.
    Your hard disk is a little too fast for your processor. You may wish to upgrade your processor for better performance.
    Your video card is a little too fast for your processor. You may wish to upgrade your processor for better performance.
So I think I will need to upgrade my processor to get the most out of the other components. I was thinking of getting a new computer when Vista came out, but I think it might be better to just upgrade parts of my current computer to save costs and vista is likely to have compatibility issues. You can see that I need more disk space. What size upgrade do you recommend? I think I will need to get someone to help me format the new drive because I want to move my current programs and games to the new drive.
I need to update all the main components really because if I update my ram, processor, video card and hard drive I will need a new motherboard.
