Default Life After 9300..??

I've got a couple GW 9300's 650 MHz running XP Pro.., only thing is I really
can't run any of the latest shoot'em up games because the video cards can't
cut it!! So.., what's the next step up with GW that still has the outward
appearance of the 9300s'??! Any way to crank up the 93's.., or just move up
a couple models??!! Thanks.., MIKE..!!

A more powerful video card might buy you a few frames per second, but
your processor just isn't up to more recent games. If you want to play
Doom3, you'll need some new hardware. If you are serious about shooters,
I suggest that you build your own. By doing so you'll be able to stay
current with games by upgrades with game-friendly hardware. Otherwise,
your stuck buying whole new machines with "stock" hardware.
