RE: BEST HARDWARD UPGRADE OFR THE $

Well, by default most processors are all fast.
And that's good enough.

...what's the slowest out there now 1.1 gig hertz ...

So, I'd have to say invest in to RAM & Video Card.

Hope that helps.

That is what I was thinking . Right now i has a 2 gig processor with 785 ram.  I seem to think that my bottle neck is my ati 9700 radeon pro? what are you running for ram and video card?

RE: BEST HARDWARD UPGRADE OFR THE $

Your speed is higher than mine.
AND your RAM is also higer than mine.
Is that 9700 Radeon 32MB? Sounds like it ... [suprise]

DUDE!
You must be rockin' with that hardware.
Can't imagine your having trouble?

I'm using a ...
black DELL
Pentium 4 - 1.5Mhz
w/ a 32MB DELL video card
w/ 500MB RAM

If you need more juice?
Your next step would have to be a DUAL PROCESSOR!

Later guy ...
