Bottle neck and other troubles with RAM and GPU
Hi!, my english is not so good, i need to know how avoid bottle necks on my hardware and I want to know things you need for help me. I am using a 4 years old pc with windows 7 sp1 x86, it has AMD Athlon 64 x2 dual core 4200+ 2.20 Ghz, 2x 1GB RAM DDR2 kingston hyperx dual channel 1066 Mhz, these are my RAMs :Kingston Technology Company - Kingston Memory Search - Search Results for: KHX8500D2/1G but the computer it recognize like 800 Mhz do not know for what (1066 Mhz and DDR2 i think, and the PC recognizes it 800 Mhz, because have windows 7 x86 or 32 bits or BIOS does not be actualized, can it be?) #1, integrated GPU nvidia 256MB Gforce 6150 nforce 430 (actualized drivers) (i want change for GPU card and i do not know wich more convenient) i think does not support BR (no 3D, do not interest me on that, because my CPU not supports) i only want for common BR. Specialy for movies, not games, do not interest me the games so much. this consult is because when i am watching movie with PowerDVD10 Ultra mark II actualized, the CPU usage increase to 100% in 2 cores and the RAM is on 20%. I think that is because my GPU is integrated (CPU entire work) . So, i want a GPU that support play a BR and free my CPU usage and it have HDMI for BR and VGA ports #2, on mother Asus m2n-mx se plus, power 500W standard. I used to computer for surfing on internet, see movies (like multimedia centre, i would like play common blu-ray not 3D, with powerDVD10 or newer, but yes DVD transformed 3D on maximun quality) and run others programs (few gaming).
1 Why? how can I do for fix it?
2 ATI, nVidia? DDR2, DDR3? 256MB, 512 or 1GB? What models? nothing exceed to the use without create conflicts (i want to buy a gpu, trouble is it has that be equilibrated to my hardware)
3 and 4 that no exist, lol, i will change HDD for this pc, X? GB or X? TB? and windows 32 bits or 64 bits?
I will buy new pc when windows8 of whatever mode. Should i change other things? Guys, thanks a lot.
