FPS for Fallout 3

[DarkPopulous]

I apologise in advance if this is in the wrong section or if i have made any other mistakes.

Hey guys i'm planning to try and increase the preformance of my computer in order to Record and play games, but unfortunately i have a limited Knowledge about computers. The graphics card i have is a NVIDIA GeForce 9500 GT which i know isn't suppost to be able to run fallout 3 on max settings but for now i could make do with Medium or lower as long as the framerate is improved.

So im planning to buy 2 more gbs of ram to get a total of 4GB in my PC, will this even effect the FPS i get while playing & recording? Is it worth even getting? or should i save up to get a better Graphics card first. Any infomation will do! If you need an example of a recording you can find loads here

Alright, well the first thing I would upgrade is definitely your Processor. That thing is a DINOSAUR. Use your money wisely and buy a new motherboard, DDR3 RAM, and a decent processor, at least an Intel Core 2 Duo. You'll be much happier, trust me.

Any idea how much that would cost? In GBP/Pounds? I only have a budget of a 120 quid for christmas.

 

Thanks in advance.
