Help.. With Graphics card and GHz

Hey,

I bought a new game for my old computer and since I aint getting a new one anytime soon I need some help wiht updatin the thing.

Firstly I have a nvidia 4 somthing game card... I need 5 or above do I have to buy a new card cus if so i dont know how to add it on or anything.

Secondly I need 2.0 GHz and Like i sed im on an old computer so ive only got 1.4 GHz , is there anyway to boost this?

All help and answer greatly apreciated

Is it possible that I can get all of your specs first?

huh well is there any other computer in your house lol.
Im not sure if you can increase it we need more info like Sir Knight said

I have no idea what you need.

Video Chip is GeForce4 ti 4400

Start->Run->Type in "dxdiag"-> click OK. And post a screenshot. That should give us all we need.

Well, first off, your probably going to need to swap out your CPU, Graphics card, and RAM, all of which can be tested at:

All you have to do is find the game you bought and click "Can You Run It" in the blue box. It'll download a little file and you'll get your system performance. From there, report back to here and we'll finish the disscussion.

I Know I cant run it

It requires a gfroce 5 or above with pixelshader 2.0 support.


I got the info from dxfiag and there nto much more there except its from 2006

S i just need to know how would I get a new grpahics card ( Ive been todl to get gforce 8400 or 8600 ) I just need a price for this and a way to get more ghz without overclocking anything

Seeing as you have an old GeForce 4, your motherboard probably doesn't have a PCI-E slot. It probably has an AGP. I suggest a GeForce 7300GS.

And about the processor, because I don't know what type you have, my only suggestion is to overclock it.

what do u need to know for the processer then?

Ill get ut ht info

I just need to know what series of processor you have (ex. Intel Pentium 4, AMD Athlon 64 X2)

Okay got it:

Intel(R) Pentium(R)4CPU 1.60 Ghz, 1.60ghz, 512mb of Ram

there

Quick bump need answer asap cus crimbo pres will dpeedn on it

Seeing as you have a Pentium 4, I give you 2 options:

- Upgrade to this processor
- Overclock your current one (Seeing as you only need 2 GHz, it shouldn't be too bad.)

So right them to will do the trcik? and how hard ot install

Ill try get them from amazon or somewhere or Pc world

Thanks every much

If you could hlep me wiht how to install would be cool!

Kay soz bout the double psot but how would I get these istalled? Im not a computer wiz lol

Aw crap, it's going to be a bit hard to explain how you replace your processor. And if you have an Intel heatsink, it's going to be a pain to remove.

Haha, no matter what he needs to replace, it would be hard to explain over Supercheats like this.

well if your looking to upgrade and have an older computer
you will have to concider the mother board
older models can only handle so much again more details
if u do upgrade your proseser make sure you get the right socket
also it is important to keep a well balanced machine so dont drasticly upgrade one thing with out looking at the other componets
again i am being vague because there is not enought information here
deadwing is right so i cant really give u alot of details here
-sorry

overclocking could be good at times but make sure u dont overclock it to much
its like giving a car nitros
if u use it your car will be fast but it will not last long
so just be carefull
also nice details stardust
your right about the video card
but of coarse you already know that

well once you have the proseser and it is the right socket and such
first u have to remove the heatsink which shoulnd be hard
(still hard to explain here)
and pull up the realese for the proseser
when puting the other one in
make sure all the pins are strate and be carful the pins can be easily broken off
if u want u can also by some of that gray past stuff that goes on the top of the prosseser to keep it cold
then put back the heatsink
if u want details on something specific just ask those are just basic instructions
