| Hi, im new here. And i was just wondering what is a cost effective but will also increase my performance, Upgrades and Etc. I really want to run Supreme Commander on med-high without lag, or stutters. My specs are 3400+ AMD Athlon 64 proccessor 2.0 GB ram 160GB hard drive ATI Radeon x 1650 Pro 2.19 GHz And another question, When watching cinamatics the voice lags behind the video. What can i do to fix it? Thank you for anyone that helps me out  |

| What's your budget? I'd look at the vid card first if I were you, could be the answer to both problems. But which one, and whether to do more, depends on how much cash you got to spend  |

| The 3400 is socket 939 and very old. It's unlikely you will get too much use out of this, but if it's a PCI-E board you could try a 4850. I seriously doubt that will give you the performance you want though seeing as how the CPU is so old.

| That's why I inquire as to the budget, if theres a couple of hundred or so to play with, we can easily get a new motherboard/CPU and GPU. |

| Your specs should be enough to run Supreme Commander as it states a 3.0ghz cpu and X1300 128mb gpu to run on recommanded but if you want to upgrade----- i would`nt as it would be too much money for too little gain best to build a new system

| Thanks everyone. I don't really have a budget because i would rather know what to get and everything. Like if i should upgrade or just build a new one. And i have to run it by my parents. Well with SupCom. It says it can run on high and everything. But it slows down.. ALOT. Even with a maybe 100 units on the map it will slow down. A lot of games do that on my computer like Company of heroes, WoW, and Warcraft 3 even. |
