Yes, my RAM will be DDR2 800 (2X2Gig)

Thanks Zazazu, you've just made my day. I truly dislike the original heads, to me it always seemed as if they put the least amount of effort into those.
Nice machine Ililas. I learned a lot here in the last couple of days, that's for sure. I'll keep in mind to always search for Hegelian posts from now on. All the computer geniuses seem to post in his threads, and I can take it from there.

Well, my gaming computer died last thursday, and now I find myself in the market for a new rig. Gotta make a point to read through this thread completely while I'm browsing and perhaps even post my choices for criticism and general mocking before I actually buy anything. I know that I want to go for dual core, but I was thinking of going with an AMD processor, over intel. Mostly because of the price.
I have to replace all the key components: mobo, processor, ram, and MAYBE a new power supply..
Do you guys think that if I find a mobo with good onboard video to go for it, or do you think I should plunk down the loot for an offboard model? Right now I have I think it's an nVidea... 2500? It was good enough to play sims [without seeing fishes most of the time and having crappy ocean surf] AGP card, but a lot of the motherboards I'm looking at don't have AGP... is AGP outmoded or what? :P
It's hard to believe that only after 3 years all of the technology I have is already SO outmoded that none of the motherboards currently out there take the kind of RAM my motherboad does. Which sucks, because i JUST bought a gig of ram and now I hafta send it back and hope they give me a damn refund. :P
More to come. Thanks for any input. :) And yes, I'm gonna read the thread. I promise. ;)

There's no such thing as a motherboard with good onboard video. :D And yes, AGP is outmoded.You must have the 5500. Wow, you are in for a treat when you see how awesome the game will look on a modern video card!
I'm going to be building a new system shortly, and I've made the decision to go with AMD because of the price, too. For what I can spend, I could get a slow Intel processor or a fast AMD one, so it's no contest. Intel does make the fastest processor right now, but if you can't afford it, that doesn't do any good. ;)
ililas:
Hello dear,
Just want to thanks all of you for your good advice. Thanks Mr. Pescado, after I read what you say about Vista, I decided to stay on XP ;D
But for the rest, my technician will built me a brand new computer to rock my Sims ;D ;D
I really want to play without any freeze or slow in the game ::)
