What he has now:
OS: Windows 7 Home x86/32bit
CPU: AMD Athlon II X2 250
GPU: ATI RADEON HD 5770 (JUNIPER XT)
RAM: 2GB of PC3-10600 DDR3 SDRAM Micron Tech.
MOBO: Giga-Byte GA-MA770T-UD3P
And holy crap, I can't believe how low the 5770 is on the charts compared to the newer cards... good thing that when he gets a new card, I'll just run both my current one and his together in crossfire

Sorry, forgot to mention, he plays games. But that CPU won't bottleneck anything right?zombie@computer wrote:Also, crossfire an HD 5770? Is it really worth the hassle? The card is ancient.
Ancient? Huh... I didn't think it was too bad... And is crossfire really that much of a hassle?
