I've seen lots of posts from people over the years that saw much better smoothness and consistency when upgrading to a 1.6Ghz or faster from a 1Ghz or less PC. |
A new computer with integrated video on the motherboard shouldn’t be a problem. Simply add a video card to one of the open expansion slots and depending upon the card and of course how much you are willing to spend for it memory will not be a problem. You will still be limited by the system bus speed however.
