Re: Graphics Card

What about RAM? Is it a card thing as well? Which ones are good?
Right now, Medium settings would be fine for me I guess...

Re: Graphics Card

All i know about your computer so far is that it has a gig of ram, and it's probably AGP. What about your PSU and processor?

The best bang-for-buck is probably the nVidia 6600GT, wich will give you smooth gameplay at 1024x768 on mediums - Don't expect anything higher for the price (wich is about $100-150)

The 6800gs is your next option, wich is usually around $200.

If you can get more money to spend, and you have PCI-e, buy an x1600xt. These usually go for around $150 for the cheaper models to $200+ for the more expensive ones. The performance benefit will be worth it, though.

Don't bother with the ATI x800 or x700 series. These use an older shader model, Wich forces future games such as Unreal Tournament 2007 to run it on lower settings. (DirectX level)

Re: Graphics Card

When I installed BF2, it said something about updating my Direct X 9 or something like that. Well, I guess $100 for medium settings is reasonable.
Thanks again for the help guys. ^^
