We were talking about my new rig over in the MS Flight forum, and about what upgrades might be needed. On the surface, I thought I was buying a decent machine, but in practice it seems lacking in many regards so it's time to dump some money into it.
You can see the specs
HERE...I want to upgrade:
Power supply (already purchased 460 watt)
Video card (at least 2 Gb)
Ram (planning on 16 Gb, but we'll see if that's needed after the video card)
Turn the 1 Tb drive into a RAID.
I am wondering if there is a way to benchmark this so I can compare the results after I do each step. My first objective is replacing the cheesy 250 watt power supply and for that I bought a 460 watt one. Should have enough power, right?
By the time I'm done, hopefully it will be a passable machine.
Any ideas or comments would be helpful...
