Was pretty decent for that amount of time. I decided to spend all that money on a new video card, and to my horror, when I fitted it, it worked like a charm, but didn't really improve my performance. I've gotta say that these steps are all brilliant, and I've learned a lot from them. I'm very wary when it comes to buying video cards now, and it's actually quite a frightening and apprehensive experience even looking for them! Dunno why I'm looking for cards, I should be looking for a new CPU, clearly! “4- Teaming a powerful video card with a slow Cpu”
