Hi guys, need your opinions here. Do you think that Athlon XP 2600+ combined with 6600GT is too slow for gaming nowadays (BF2, B&W2)? I dunno y, but now I have to lower game resolutions down to 800x600 32 bit to be able to play very smoothly.

Sometimes if I push to 1024x768 32 bit, it hangs on me. Memory wise, no problem. Got more than enough. Same with the power supply, no problem.

Do you think this is the time for an upgrade?
 
well as far as your cpu goes, yes i think it is getting a little dated especially for a 2600+, the 6600gt will definantly NOT hold you back.... honestly i think you need to consider getting a dfi lanparty UT nf3 ultra-d it has an agp compliant slot for your 6600gt and you could get yourself a nice new sandiego 3700+ cpu and you'll be laughing :D
 
MSI Neo2 and DFI Ultra 939 NF3 are two good options for cheap. Forget a sandiego , go with an opteron 146. Its 2.0 ghz and 1 meg cache. Sandy is more expensive.
 
If you have the money to upgrade it would be nice... I run a 2600+ and a 6600GT just to make sure I didn't get a bottleneck oc is at 2400. It run's all the games I have ever tried on atleast medium-high settings. HL2 all on highest. It's not bad if that all you can afford. If you can afford more go with what they said.
 
It's MORE than fine. Jeeze, he don't need a top of a line comp to play BF2. As long as it's @ 1024x768 you should be fine :).
