Hey i have a pretty crappy Pc (2.8 Celeron , 512 Ram, Intel graphics :( ) And am Getting a new Pc in the summer Either a |3GHZ Pentium D/256 7600 GS/2GB Ram/| Or Step up to a |2.13 or 2.4 Core2/512 7950GT/2GB Ram| Either way i plan on seeing a BIG difference. But i dont wanna waste my money on something that will be old by summer,Probally would be faster if i waited, And cheaper if i waited (core2's are set to drop 30-50% :) With 4mb Cache Standard) But what can i do to Hold Me over until then. I think Some Extra Ram (512 More) and a PCI graphics card (No agp.. Or Pci x16 :( ) Would be good. I just want something to Play WoW @ 1024 x 768 Until i buy a new Pc to play it on. I really would like to know what would be the best ideas and cheapest (I feel any upgrades on something this old is kinda a waste) Currently i have probs running at 800 x 600 With everything on low :( I know either the ram or the GPU is the bottleneck (21% CPU , Wow Using 300+ Ram, Ect. it cant be the CPU ) What can i do to help?(For cheap)
The C2D option would be best... Just wait... it would be kindof harsh to get a mobo... No just wait... I know it's hard but it will be well worth the wait... And I would get a 8600 GT or Ultra instead of the 7950GT... They should be near the same speed or a touch slower with support for Shader Model 4.0 (the stuff that DX 10 supports but that can be run with Open GL just fine).

Yeah i know. I heard the 7*** series was going to slowly be replaced by the 8*** series. I hope i could get a 8600 Ultra when the time comes. But what could let me wait?
