What do you think about my gaming computer?

I'm going to upgrade the newer dual cores processor called AMD Opteron 185 2.6GHZ for my gaming computer.

My currently gaming computer's specification
Operating Software: Windows XP Professional (Installed with SP2)
Motherboard: Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe
Processor : AMD Athlon 64 3200 2.0Ghz (Overclocked 2.2Ghz)
Memory: 1 GB Consair Twinx XMS 3200C2 DDR3
Graphic Card: 2X EVGA Nvidia Geforce 6800 GS 256MB GDDR3 PCI-Express on SLI (When SLI enabled, 512MB of video memory)
Hard Drive: 2X Maxtor DiamondMax 7200RPM 8MB Cache SATA (one for Windows XP Professional Software and other one is for paging file)

When I upgrade AMD Opteron 185 instead the old one (AMD Athlon 64 3200) Do you think my computer can play faster on high-end games like S.T.A.L.K.E.R , FSX, Gothic 3, Oblivion, or other high-end games on very high-quality setting?
My graphic card can overclock from 425Mhz to between 500-550Mhz and Memory 1Ghz to 1.8Ghz. When SLI enabled, Two Nvidia Geforce 6800 GS can act like substitute Geforce 7800 series.

What is better gaming computer, 9500 grahics card with a daul processor or 6150 quad processor?

Danny

Im looking for a new gaming computer no monitor just a tower to buy. but i have seen some computers on newegg.com where that had quad processors 4gb memory and a 500gb hardive but with a 6150 graphics card. But i have seen a computer with the same memory but a dual processor 9500 graphics card. Which is better and why?

Answer
Hi


If the quad processor is Intel Q series, or AMD's Phenom II series, then go with the quad machine and then buy an additonal Video card (nvidia 9600GT, 9800GT, ATI Radeon 4650 HD, 4850HD) to put in the PC.

the Nvidia 6150 is not a graphics card, its a intergrated Chip on the motherboard, that can just support displays.

If the Quad processor is not listed in what I mentioned above, then get the Dual Core PC.

It would be very helpful if you provided links to those computers, or post the PC Specifics of each PC.

Hope that Helps.

What to look for in a gaming computer?

Goofy Goof

When it comes to a gaming computer, what type of processor and video card should i be looking for? Also How much RAM and memory should i be looking for. And basically anything else i might be forgetting.

P.S. im a looser when it comes to computers.

Answer
The most important part of a gaming computer is the video card. You want the best video card you can find. That would either be a geforce gtx 200 series video card or a Radeon HD 4800 or 5800 series card or others around those series.
In terms of RAM, games don't require that much RAM. 4 gigs should be more than enough to run any modern game. You'd need more if you plan on running multiple large background applications while you game, but I don't see why anyone would do that.
In terms of processors, the new i3, i5, i7 processors from intel are great. You don't necessarily need the best processor for gaming. A good i5 processor would be just fine although you can never go wrong with an i7 processor. You could also go with the AMD equivalent processor. AMD's phenom II x4 processors are also very good and are usually compared with Intel's i5 processors.

What makes a gaming computer better in gaming than normal ones?

best gaming computer processor image

Vincent

Just curious but, gaming computers seem the same to me, they can be less expensive than normal ones, and the processors might even be worse, but what makes it better in gaming.

Answer
Depending on the brand, price or build of the gaming computer there can be several differences. The main one being that computers designed for gaming will all have dedicated video graphic cards, which will make games run more smoothly, and increase the appearance and decrease the choppy graphics. Also the ram on most gaming computers will be higher so that it will have more memory for gaming programs to use so that it wont slow down your computer. The core processors on most gaming computers will also be greater, in turn speeding up the games, and connection.

A Good Gaming Computer should meet or exceed these requirements:
Ram- Minimum of 4GB
HDD/ SSD (Disk Drive)- 250-512 GB
Processor- Quad or above
Graphics Card - 512 MHz +

What is the best computer processor for gaming?

ahriik

I am planning on getting a newer computer soon, but I have no knowledge of computer processors. I see all these AMD Athalon and Intel Core Duos and such. Which is the best for gaming?
Also, does the amount of GHz matter? like is 3.0 GHz better than 3.2 GHz?

Answer
The Intel Core i5-750 gives the best gaming performance for any CPU in the under-$200 price range.

However, gaming performance is not just about the CPU. The video card is equally important (or more important). So, if you're on a tight budget, it would often be better to use a AMD Phenom II X4 instead, if that allows you to spend $60 or $70 more on the video card.
