If u are given a choice to one upgrade, what u will choose for faster pc performance?

[intertec]

it depends on waht you already got on the computer! Give me system information and I'll tell exact upgrade for reasonable price from good shops!

[Zangetsu]

all including the motherboard cuz what is the piont of buying an i.e. a processor with a 2GHz FSB, if you put it on a mobo which only has a FSB of 800MHz same goes for the ram if you buy 1333MHz ram modules and stick them on a mobo which only can handle 533MHz then the ram modules will either not be accepted or the modules will be underclocked

Processor (assuming this choice is free). RAM and HDD's don't cost too much nowadays..

[TarouSensei]

On my system, I would have to upgrade RAM first out of the choices you gave. 256MB isn't really enough for development/3d rendering/gaming/etc. What I really want is a better graphics card, though. (Mine doesn't have vertex shader!!)

[marshian]

How about you upgrade the thing that gives you the most headaches?

[TechAsh]

On my Laptop I would upgrade the RAM (I do need more because I only have 768MB).

It does depend on which component is the current bottleneck on you computer. If you have good RAM and a good Processor, but a very slow/small HDD, then you would upgrade that.

On my PC, I'd probably upgrade the RAM, as it only has a 667MHz FSB. The amount is plently though (2GB )

[Livewire]

On mine, HD, Ram, Processor, in that order.

HD's cause I've got an accumulated 10% free across all the partitions on the 320 and 120gb drives, ram cause I've got another slot for 2gb free, then processor cause I'm running an AMD dual core and although I have managed to max it out with some games, for the most part it's doing just fine

i would upgrade my RAM
