    hello all

    I am from South Africa where comp parts are either super $$ or hard to find (the good parts). I am going to New York in a few week and was wondering if my current rig will still be fine for a another 1-2 years or if there are any parts i should get in NY. (i have been back packing in South America for 5 months so a bit out of the loop).

    My current rig is

    E6400 2.13 at 3Ghz
    2 gig ram
    x1950xtx
    19? lcd.

    i will prob only have enough moeny to replace one part.

    any advice is welcome. (not keen on vista for another 2 years)

    At the moment I'd say your rig is fairly well balanced, personally I wouldn't bother, but it's up to you.

    If you really want to upgrade something I'd say go for a quad-core processor (and PSU, depending on the quality of your current one), or if you're really struggling for graphical grunt in newer games then maybe a new graphics card.

    Do you do a lot of gaming? A nice 8800GT or GTS would work well for you I think. :)
