Rate my old(ish) machine

Lanparty UT nF4 SLI-D

AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3200+

1GB Ballistix 184-pin DIMM DDR PC4000

SLI 7800 GT

I know this hasn't got amazing 8800 GT's or anything, but how does it rate?

With a couple of upgrades (1GB of RAM and an AMD Athlon X2 4200+) will it be able to run games like Half Life 2 Orange Box, Bioshock and Company of Heroes on high settings at 1680x1050?

I dont have enough cash for anything other than the upgrades i mentioned, so i cant get much else.

Any feedback would be absolutely great!

Granted the video cards are a bit old, but they shouldn't have all that much trouble with the Source engine or Bioshock. I couldn't say about CoH, though.

Sabbath, I doubt that he can find a HD 3850 for less than $100.

probably, besides i dont think thats a pci express card anyway

SLI 7800 GT? Does that mean you have two of them running in SLI mode?

What, you think he's running SLi on AGP?kodex1717

Well if he said SLI then we would just assume he has an SLI board.
