Before you rush out and buya video card.
1. How big is your CPU? 2. How much memory do you have? 3. Will your motherboard (mobo) accept the v/card youve decided on? |
How big is your PC?
It's a Tower if thats what you mean 312MB RAM Yes my motherboard accept it. The only problem is MONEY I don't have very much because I am saving to buy MOH:AA. ------------------ http://dba.gamepoint.net/images/My_Sig.jpg |
you're gonna want 32mb+ ram on whatever video card you by. 16mb ain't gonna cut it.
|
you can also get a 32mb Xtasy geforce2 for $49. It may be a generic brand name, but a geforce is a geforce.
I dont tend to buy the most expensive graphics cards now because I learned a hard lesson when 3dfx went belly-up. Nothing like buying the latest greatest card to find out weeks later no one supports it anymore. |
How big is your CPU? Your processor? Not your computer case.

You might need a bigger processor (CPU)
When your posting a question re upgrading--always tell what in your computer. It helps others advise you. 1. CPU 2. Video card 3. RAM 4. Operating system W98, W2K or Whatever. Note: If your cpu is too small it may bottleneck a good video card. |
I think there's a small language barrier here. I think Arclight, when he says how big is your CPU, he means how fast is it? i.e. megahertz. Is it a Pentium 2, 3, 4? 500mhz, more?, less?...
As far as a new video card, how much money can you spend? $50? Get the Geforce 2 MX400 64MB $90? Get the Geforce 2 TI 64MB $160? Get the Geforce 3 TI 64MB |
