Default Upgrades?
What upgrades would you guys reccomend for my New Pentium D? Video Card (PCI-E and/or AGP) and RAM (DDR 2 533 for AGP and 667 for PCI-E)? Thanks in Advanced.

Well yes what is your Budget..Also if we are going by your Sig rig i would say that having atleast 1-2gb of RAM will really help.

When I play COD 2, I play get pretty low FPS when I set it to DX 9. But when I set it to DX7, it recieves plenty of frames. Actual DX 9 features would be real nice.

1c0n: How much? :?
