How long would this upgrade last?

[Chan]

I just recently upgraded my computer, I am tried of the 835 benchmark for OFP. It is torture when I play missions like Red Hammer's Beach map.

My old comp
Intel Pentium III 450MHZ *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** ***
Intel 82443BX Motherboard
Asus V-7700 Geforce II GTS 32mb
320mb PC-100 SDRAM
10GB 5400Harddrive
48x CDROM drive

New comp *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif
AMD Athlon XP 1800 1.53GHZ
Asus A7V266 Motherboard
Asus V-7700 Geforce II GTS 32mb
Crucial 512 PC-2100 DDRRAM
Western Digital 80GB 7200RPM Harddrive
Western Digital 10GB 5400RPM Harddrive (same old one)
A 12xDVD drive! and a Aluminum case for superior cooling

By next week I will recieve and finally enjoy 1600x1200x32! Does anyone here have a similar configuation to my system specs, if someone does please tell me how OFP runs.

I just wonder when games would start to become slow again and I would have to upgrade...

No more than 3yrs is my guess. Either AMD or Intel will comeup with processor that&#39;s twice better by then, and games like OFP2 will require 1Ghx or higher processor to do its awesome stuff.

I assembled mine for about US&#036;400 last March, and doubled RAM and added GeForce just for OFP. Never had in my mind thought that I would upgrade for a game.(AMD Duron 750, 256MB RAM, GF2). but it&#39;s worth every penny.

This will probably be obsolete in a year or so as a good game player.

yours will be ok...but any PC pver 3yrs is old for good latest game playing.
