Fire and Ice (Ancient Warriors)

Finally....the final upgrade for my 4 year old baby. This baby is running on a Intel Pentium 4 processor. I got this baby when I was in form 3. And not to mention, I am quite attached to her. :P Hmm.... here is a little history about her. Her initial speed was 2.8GHz, I upgraded it to 3.0GHz early last year. I also gave her a new motherboard early last year and 2GB RAM to top that up. :D Not to mention, a ATi Radeon 9550 Gamer Edition GPU by GeCube. And this week, I got her a Sapphire ATi HD2600XT GPU!! Running on GDDR3, this piece of hardware packs a punch, quite a pleasing score for the 2600XT in 3D Mark 03 ( 11171 marks ). Even for the ancient AGP x8 slots. This card needs a 6-pin connector. :D From the red fire 9550 to this blue ice HD2600XT.

The Sapphire HD2600XT card, really love the blue.....

the installation of the new graphics card

well, my retired ATi 9550. Still working in perfect condition. :D Just got cleaned

the head to head comparison.....well, the 9550 heatsink is much bigger!! Haha!
