Hi, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year,

My intuitive advice is to buy a new machine. I have two questions:

1. What is wrong with the one you have got?
2. What do you want to do that the current equipment won't handle?

What I am warning against is spending good money on "improvements" that don't give you a good return on your $

Again, I will go back to my favourite sermon on "balance"...............it will only be as good as the slowest component that is required for what you want to do I guess in gaming ( and I am NO expert ) you have:

1. Framerate
2. RAM amount & speed
3. Processor speed
4. HDD data transfer rate

You need to look at your needs in those areas and what improvements to them your "upgrades" might make?
