Can you tell me what games kayang laruin sa gantong specs?  Uu i upgrade ko talaga un mem nya.  Thanks thanks!

that 7300gt doesnt sound so promising when it comes to games. madami nagsasabi.

yun lang ba ang use nya sayo?

siguro masasabi kong makaka medium settings yan sa farcry. kaya din nyan new games like red alert 3.

pero mabigatan? susuko yan like yung Crysis,Gears of War etc, Assassins Creed etc.

noted!  any ideas kung ano magandang videocard and magkano?  im not into games naman din since I'm always playing with PSP during rest day.  Pang download sana ng games ang purpose ko.  Surf, and play mainstream games like DOTA, CS, starcraft, ung mga tipong ganun lang.  May nag sabi sakin mabagal daw to for photoshop, tsk gusto ko pa naman matuto neto.  How true is this?

siguro nga...pero kung photoshop cs4 baka bumilis na yan lalo na pag upgraded na yung ram...kasi i heard that cs4 uses the vid cards ram for faster rendering or something like that...

siguro kung NVidia card ang balak mong upgrade eh kumuha ka ng mag start sa 8600 series pataas...

baka late na itong reply ko for help... but i'll post padin... hehe!

yung photoshop cs4 na 64bit uses the vidcard's power pero i strongly recommend na dapat workstation card ang gamitin mo if you want to utilize this feature...kasi gaming vidcards are not designed to compute such algorithms for rendering unlike workstation cards ang ginagawa lang niya talaga is mag render...  kasi sa rig ko ngayon i'm using a highend vidcard it uses it's power pero minsan may choke siya sa pag mabilisan na gawa kaya i turn it off padin pero pag 3d touchup texture in photoshop nakakatulong naman yung vidcard... pero if i'm creating design layout etc... i turn off the performance feature that uses my vidcard...

and i suggest also na stick with cs3 nalang and xp with your current setup...

if you're going vista ang you'll use adobe products i highly recommend getting atleast 4gb of ram...

Pede na yan. Good buy. Pero the RAM can be better. Try mo buy ng additional 512mb para total of 1gb ang RAM mo. Gaming Machine na yan.
