Here is a spec of a P4 Pc we have at home Mobo - Asus P4V8X-MX CPU - P4 1.7Ghz RAM - 1GB DDR SDRAM Graphics - Nvidia geforce FX 5200 256MB HDD - 40GB I know this is pretty old. It is slow. But my bro wants to play a few games on it. Ex. Battlefield 2 But the PC wont run it. So what is the best and 1st upgrade that we can do inorder to speed it up and play that game. Thx
Everything besides your graphics card meets at least the minimum requirements for BF2, find a cheap AGP card (used if possible) that would meet them. An ATI X800 or nVidia 6800GT would be a cheap solution, though the power supply might not cut it..
Not a lot can be done. You could get a better P4 on the cheap, but Socket 478 is fairly dead. Obviously an extra gig of RAM is never a bad idea, but as for graphics, you are pretty stuck, the best I can find is this: http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/1GB-...080p)-HDMI-800mhz-DDR3-Dual-Link-DVI-VGA-HDMI on AGP.
I can't see any way that you can turn that system into something that can play more than facebook games. It's several generations behind what I'd even describe as old.
[OT]Facebook games can be demanding as hell. The crap that Zynga womits forth easily chokes my rig. Down with Flash says I.[/OT]
