Hi !

i have a friend that got an Athlon XP 2200+ 256 megs RAM, with integrated graphics, 32 megs of shared memory. He wonders what's he could do to have a little more speed? adding another stick of 512 megs RAM or upgrading the video card with a FX 5200 ? (because he can get one for very cheap). I know adding more RAM will certainly help, but what will be the difference for the video card? He doesn't play games...

Thanks for your advices :)

i would recommend the upgrade anyway, im sure he uses Adobe Flash or watches Movies or something video related, standards are getting higher, alot higher
