Re: Upgrade cycle extended

At the end of the 1990s it seemed that upgrades could be made twice a year with real improvements. Adding more ram and a careful choice of graphics card could often give massive improvements for gaming.

A friend bought a new PC with a substantial research grant. The ATI graphics card was chosen because it was expensive - but gaming was poor. Replacing the graphics card with a Diamond Viper 330 was impressive.
