    hi well to play bf2 or bf2142 i need a new graphics card i live in the uk but a friend in hawaii is coming over and i can get him to get one for me but it has to be from a compusa store heres a link to the cards they've got
    what would be the best card for under $130 there?
    (there are hardly any in stock at the store)
    i would of went for the x800 pro 256mb but they have none in stock but what would be better?
    the x800 pro 128mb or x1300 256mb
    but are there any better ones there? could you tell me and i can check the stock

          $130 is still a bit too much would a x800 128mb be better than a x1300 256mb

            BIOSTAR 6800XT 256MB - Good Card, decent price.

            They ship also to Hawaii.

                    if compusa has it online that doesn't always mean they have it in stock at the store.

                      just buy one from this country?

                      and $130 isnt alot of money......

                      this may play bf2142 reasonably well:

                      Leadtek GeForce 7600 GS 256MB DDR2 HDTV/DVI (AGP) - Retail (GX-092-LT)
                      The Leadtek GeForce® 7600 GS delivers smooth, realistic gaming at ultra-high resolutions as well as high-definition, home-theater quality video to the PC through NVIDIA® PureVideo™ technology.

                      - Processor: 7600 GS
                      - Interface Slot: AGP
                      - Memory: 256MB DDR2
                      - Core Clock: 400MHz
                      - Memory Clock: 800MHz

                      Available This Week Only for just £69.99 +VAT.

                      from overclockers.co.uk

                      but the 7600gt for Price: £119.99 (£140.99 Including VAT at 17.5%)
                      would be much better.
