| I just replied in the other thread. Your chipset should have no trouble with a Athon 3200+. Check out www.pricewatch.com and find a little company to order it from. You can get one for $120 or so. The prices on those things have fallen extremely far, since the 64bit stuff came out. Jump on it! Its the fastest your going to get on that chipset. |
The XP2100+ is a 1.73GHz processor and it's around 2 years old. Top of the line AMD is 2.4GHz. D3 System Requirements An Nvidia GeForce 3 graphics card or ATI Technologies 8500: Column author Dwight Silverman says that given the game's demanding visuals, serious gamers should splurge for a GPU from Nvidia's GeForce FX or 6800 line or ATI's Radeon 9800 or X800 series. He says more frugal PC owners can make do with a GeForce 5900XT or a Radeon 9600XT. A 1.5-gigahertz Intel Pentium 4 chip or AMD Athlon 1500: Though these will run the game, Silverman suggests a 2GHz Pentium or equivalent, with the "ideal" processor being 3 GHz or over. 384MB of memory: Again, Silverman stresses that this is a minimum requirement, and he recommends 512MB at least, with 1GB preferred. Two GB of hard drive space:. Four GB is suggested if your PC is running low on free space. |
Just make sure to check out whomever you plan on buying from on this site: www.resellerratings.com/ Check your board revision before you buy, and make sure that BIOS can support a XP3200. You might need a BIOS update before you put in the new CPU. Check here: www.asus.com.tw/support/cpusupport/cpusupport.aspx |
