Need advice on upgrade...

I don't remember what Proc they used in that Toms chart so if it were me...

Upgrading ram is fine...But this won't make the game playable...you need a video card.

I think you could get by with a PCI card, you might find a one on for cheep.

If you are going to keep this pc for a while, I sugest a new Mobo.  It's not going to be expensive for that older Processor, you can re-use all your original equipment. the 2.5 gig cpu is plenty.

Get one with a pci-express slot. and then pick up a pci-e GPU.

Do what you want with the ram but just be sure the new motherboard takes your ram type. Just as a point of contrast I have one XP box that has 256 mb of ram and it's is fine for most things. (though it is not for gaming anymore)

Good luck

Great advice everybody! Thanks a bunch. I will do some investigating and let you all know on what I get and how it works later on.   :cheers:

Real quick. This is what I found last nite on newegg that I like so far. Any thoughts on it?

I know it wasn't on the list ^ above. You think it's got enough "horsepower" to run the game?


knave:

Yes, I think it will be enough (Please note that this is the express opinion of knave and is in no way a guarentee that the above Hardware solution will work for you.)  ;)

Oh and it was on the list...
