  • 2004 Gamers' Hardware Upgrade Guide
    Ace’s Hardware 2004 Gamers’ Hardware Upgrade Guide 2004 Gamers’ Hardware Upgrade Guide By Johan De Gelas – January 2004 Introduction Last week, we showed you a preview of the Athlon 64 3400+. Today, we'll investigate this new CPU as an upgrade to an existing system. How much performance do you gain when upgrading? What about the other features aside from performance, such as Cool'n'Quiet and more thermal and mechanical safety? As always, we start with a base system to be upgraded. This time around, our base system is equipped with an Athlon XP 2100+, as previous polls among our readers show that the faster versions of the Athlon XP "Palomino" were very popular in the early days of 2003. Now in 2004, Palomino is getting a little long in the tooth, so it's interesting to know whether or not an upgrade may be worthwhile. Our old system also contains a GeForce Ti 4200 and 512 MB of DDR266 (PC2100) memory. We will upgrade the CPU (to the Athlon 4 3400+) and memory (to DDR400 CAS 2) and compare that upgrade with one that simply upgrades the video card. As mentioned previously, we've done this before in many of our Gamer's Upgrade Guides. However, the gaming industry is not sitting still, and we are moving from hybrid DirectX 7/8 games to DirectX 8/9 games, which - as you will see - behave quite differently. The games you'll see tested in detail today are Halo 1.03, Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, and X²- The Threat.

    Understanding CPU Upgrades In theory, one way to t seems that every time a new software product is released the system require- ments are increased - everything from the hard drive capacity and CPU speed increase the performance of a Ito the required RAM. One of the apparently obvious ways to gain a speed PC with little effort is to increase is by upgrading the CPU. But such an upgrade isn’t always cost effective and in some cases simply increasing the available RAM can help considerably to upgrade the CPU. Surely it boost the apparent speed of the PC. Sometimes though the best (and maybe only) option is to upgrade the CPU, although this can be a more involved process than it can’t be that difficult? might at first seem due to socket/motherboard incompatibilities, differing CPU and Actually there’s lots to think RAM speed requirements, cooling problems and inevitably assorted knock-on effects causing the upgrade to be anything but cost effective. Also, it is worth about. remembering that just because the replacement CPU has, for example, double the clock rate of the old unit doesn’t necessarily mean that the new one will increase the By Phil Morris processing performance of the PC in question by anything like 100%. Technical Writer This article looks at some of the options for upgrading the CPUs in existing systems. It is extremely unlikely that recent processors like AMD’s Duron (and forthcoming Hammer) and Intel’s Pentium 4 and Itanium will require upgrading for some time, so I will omit those in the context of this article.
