Hmm... Which to go for?

Came into work to get the most joyous news this morning, I've had a payrise :-)

Now the only problem is that I've found a number of potential investments for my salary, should I go for one of these:

Or should I go for a new set of bike wheels built around these:

One will give my aged Amiga a new lease of life, the other will give me lighter wheels with added bling.

Decisions, decisions...

Well, £62 is taken care of with an upgrade to an ATI 9600 thingy as playing Battlefield Vietnam on my PC is a bit like playing Amiga Quake on an '030...  Despite my Athlon 2500 CPU.

However, those pretty blue hubs are swaying me more and more...  When my bike's finished I'll post some images of it on here I think hehe.

Erm, pass... Am very non-clued up with PCs.  Always know where I am with an Amiga.

My system is an Althon 2500 512Mb RAM.  BF1942 runs great, but BF Vietnam runs like an absolute snail.  Turning off DirectCD makes a big difference, but I've got the graphics prefs set to a bare min.

I got HL2 for Xmas so I really ought to upgrade...

I'm cheating somewhat and dropping it round my mate's tonight.  He's going to poke around at it and see what he can do (technical terminology here).

I can go into details about setting up an Amiga max transfer or installing a PCI bus, but get me on a PC and I go straight into numpty-mode :-)

Still, on balance the shiny new wheels and bling blue hubs look like a far more straightforward installation process and the only optimisation issues I need to worry about is cleaning the mud from the spokes with a stick.

Yeah but their real purty blue hubs...  They make this cool "ticka ticka ticka" sound when freewheeling that confuses courting grasshoppers when you cycle past them...  

But an Athlon 64 would no doubt make for a nice gaming experience...
