So I've decided that i like the idea of pc gaming, more possibilities and customization. But I'm a little rusty when it comes to PC hardware. I have general understanding of how all of the components work, just not how to read some specs. For example, I recently downloaded Psychonauts, a game which i thought shouldn't be to hard on resources. Unfortunately to run the game fluidly I had too run on minimum settings. Maybe you guys can help me out on what i need to upgrade. Here is some of my current specs: AMD Athlon 64 x2 dual core processor 5000+ 2.60 GHz 3 GB of Ram 32 bit Windows 7 Nvidia GeForce 9200 (ummm i think)
A PCI. Yes thats what i figured, but wasn't sure if thats all i needed to upgrade. By the way, I hope I posted this in the right forum, apologies if needed.
what is the make & model# of the computer or motherboard to see what you have in expansion slot types?
Haha I was hoping i wouldn't have expose just quiet how n00b my pc was but , what ever. It's an Acer Aspire x1200.
