Re: Help With Graphics Card

No, that card won't work. Your computer has an AGP interface. The card you're looking at is PCI express (PCI-E). These are nice cards in your price range...

Any of those cards will run BF2 on medium/high with decent frame rates.

I mainly just want to play BF2 on HIGH/max. I do not want to go over $300. I have a PCI-Express slot and here are my specs

1GB, 200GB Hard Drive 7200 RPM, 2.2 ghz, Media Center edition, PCI-Express slot, came with a Nvidia GeForce 6100, 1024 MB DDR Dual channel memory, AMD Athlon 64 processor 3700+
