update mine and wilds computers
Ok not sure if I can update wilds computer at least what 2. Probably wont need to since hers is a dual core processor but I am thinking of ut3 in mind and have to do it as cheap as possible if I even can. Anyways I was looking at my Motherboard specs and I can run x2 on my motherboard so I was looking at prices and am thinking

amd 64 x2 4400+ would be my best bet. out of the list of Athlon x2 socket 939 Processors - Retail Box - PriceGrabber.com=

4400+ is the one below.
AMD Computers - Athlon 64 X2 4400+ Dual Core Processor - ADA4400CDBOX
Or should I go with the 3800+ dual core as it doesnt look like the 4400+ would be much of a performance boost over the 3800?

and for video card I would have to go with the 1950 I believe which I would have to upgrade wilds video card as well to that. I dont think I have to upgrade her cpu though since it is a dual core 839 I believe. I just want to be able to play ut3 without my or her computer having to strain to play the game to much but I dont want to upgrade everything jsut as little as I possibly can. currently Ihave an amd 3800+ (thanks to erad). I may just take that give that back to him and try and sell what I can on ebay to get more $$$ for hardware upgrades. Unless smiley has a 939 chipset and wants the cpu .

*edit on a side not people are noticing the advance notice for the ut3 download of the demo is 5 hours away.

UT3 is certainly highly dependent on the video card, upgrading that alone should give you a very noticeable boost. So in that regard I'd suggest upgrading video card first and seeing your results.
