Question 1:
I am a AVID,HEAVY,SITTING AT COMPUTER 10 HOUR STRAIGHT GAMER. I play a lot of RPG and first person shooter games. Having EVERYTHING in consideration dealing with todays and the future games...will my computer that I own now be up to par for a little longer?

Question 2:
I have a stick of 512 pc2100 SDRAM DDR 133 MHZ...I asked SONY Technical Support What RAM I need and they told me something different than what came with my computer. when I asked why Is the RAM different, they were stumped. They told me pc2100 DDR 512. Is that the same as mine?


MTF3s Computer:

SONY VAIO PCVRX850 [2002 model]
INTEL PENTIUM 4 2.4 GHZ
512 DDR SDRAM [133 MHZ FSB]
SIS962L MOTHER BOARD (500 MHZ FSB)
TOTAL DC OUTPUT 298 WATT POWER SUPLY
AGP ATI X800 XT 256 RAM

MTF3s Budget:
$500.00 USDOLLARS

MTF3s Choice A:
[The maximum RAM my computer can hold is 3 sticks of pc2100 ddr 512 RAM (1.5Ghz).] I can purchase 2 more sticks to meet the maximum RAM and be ok for a while.

MTF3s Choice B:
Look for a brand new Computer within budget
[except moniter mouse keyboard speakers]

MTF3s Choice C:
[Keeping in mind that this SONY VAIO PCVRX850 may have proprietary parts...]
I can look for a new MOTHER BOARD, CPU, and around 2 gig of RAM to install into my SONY VAIO.
[Budget $500.00 USD]


Thank You! and again I apologize if I upset you.

WOW thank you! why did you treat me so right?

Also If thats the case I could sell my VAIO Desktop and possibly add 300 dollars to my 500 to spend on a new computer.
