I was planning on upgrading to an athlon 64 next spring so that I could get a dual channel athlon64 for socket 939 made using the 0.09 um process and a btx mb (maybe with ddr2 ram). As most of the games I currently play aren?t very demanding I could live with that, but PS just gives me the good old tribes 2 feeling back and so I?m thinking about doing an intermediate upgrade to these specs:

AXP 2400+ (266 MHz bus)
ASUS A7NX-X (nforce2)
1024 MB PC2100 RAM
ATI 9600 XT (or maybe a 9800 pro 128 meg ? the price difference is not that big)

My HD ?old? HD is quite fast, so I?m going to keep that.

I?m planning on reusing my old 512 MB PC2100 RAM and get a new 512 MB module, so I?m only getting a cpu with 266 MHz FSB.

Have any of you experience with a similar setup?
Do you think I can get an ok FPS, or will I still experince this terrible slideshow?

Don't get a 2400+, get a 2500+, barton core = more cache + higher fsb = better performence, of course, you'd need to get some DDR2700 RAM for that, but pricewise, for the CPU and RAM, it's only about $30 or so.
