Upgrading my PC

[gangooparsad]

at the moment i have the following configurations

Pentium Dual core 2.66ghz OCed to 3ghz
Asus P5LD2 motherboard
1gb ram
and Asus 7300GS graphic card.

as you might have noticed that my graphic card sucks so i planned on upgrading it to Asus 8600GT but then it hit me that why dont i just upgrade the ram to 2gb also.

so i need your opinion if this above upgrade would let me play new game like shadowrun and CNC3 in full resolution of above normal resolutions?

and if this upgrade is worth it? please advice within 6 hours coz then i have to go Buy it with a friend.

cheers

I have a Pentium E6600 (2x 2,4ghz)
2gb ram
and a GeForce 7600 GT OC edition


i can run cnc3 on ultra high with the highest resolution >_< (1680x1050). Ok, i did turn anti aliasing off, cause that was causing some lag.. but all the other settings are at ultra.

So i think a 8600GT would be even better, and more ram cant hurt right? Especially when you run Vista.
I say, go for it!

well i got the 8600GT and its said to be OCable...so i am gonna do some testing this weekend. the overall performance is not bad as u can see that i am using a Dual core not a Core 2 duo, and only 1 GB ram...

btw i use windows XP pro, more customizable and turn of alot of unecessary features that i dont need when i am not gaming.

actually i bought the basic version of vista but then its so bloody crappy i mean Microd***s took 6 years to realease this and its worst than windows ME, waste of cash reallly.
