| upgrading my computer for games
Hey, im trying to upgrade my old computer to be able to run newer games like direct x 10 games at least and wondering what i should do with my motherboard whether to get a new one or if i can just get a processor and graphics card if needed.
My motherboard is:
Connolly e187242 f2 with one 3 and a half inch PCI slot and 2 other 3 inch slots and a weird one with like 3 knobs, sorry i dont know the exact names of the slots.
My processor is:
intel 04 Pentium 4 531 sl8hz 3.00ghz/1M/800/40a, im wondering if i should get a new one or just keep this one.
Thank you for your advice and feedback |

Not going to happen. that system is just too old. if you can spend $600 on a new system, then that is realistic to get something that can put most modern games on mid settings. But i dont suggest getting your hopes up about that system for new games.

how much can you spend? Reason I say dont bother with that old system is becasue you would be basically trying to feed a dead horse. Even if you were to upgrade it, its not possible to upgrade that system to a point that it will play new games. | |
