Update it. I don't know much about computers but I had a friend update mine and everything seemed to be so much better. Just ask around on a different site where someone might know more.
k thx for all replies =) , 'll see about that hehs EDIT: how do i locked this forum? i want to close it ...~_~
What's your processor, motherboard, how many cores do you have, speed etc? Not all processors/motherboards are compatible with each other. Also, your processor might also be underpowered for these games. You might want to check a hardware forum like Tom's Hardware
It depends really on what you want to do, if you want to play does high res games then go for it, else just stick with the old one that is working for you.
your graphics card is not that old, you can play some nice graphics game on that. Sometimes is your Processor that is slowing you desktop like that: is graphics card send to much information to CPU and vice-versa, when the cpu can't handle that in combo with your mem, you will have slow downs. Of course, maybe its just your graphics card but, i strongly recommend that with you wanna to upgrade it using an "old" processor, maybe you will have slow downs. I use a Athlon II X4 with a HD5650 and i play games like DMC, Deadpool, GRID2, played Crysis with almost highest settings (only leave shadow on medium or low) and it handle it. And as other users here said, if you wanna play with highres, its time to change it. The price will depends, but there is de low-card for the low-prices, the high-cards and the mid-cards.
