Any upgrade recommendations??

[mark128]

in my oppinion i have a decent pc but im looking to improve its game playing performance so if you can recommend any thing that would help my computer eg: more ram, better graphics card and so on. Here are my specs:

Intel Pentium 4 3.4GHz 550
1gb DDRZ-SDRAM
400gb hard drive
Nvidia GeForce 6200 256Mb Ram
Windows XP Home
(i think thats all the important stuff)

The only thing worth upgrading is your graphics card. More ram wont hurt (1GB is considered the norm for BF2). Other wise you are good

graphics card

Vid card; but rather, how much do you want to spend for upgrading?

[ttopi]

You defenitely need new display adapter. Good Mid-level choice would be Nvidia 6800GT or ATI X800XL, both run BF2 nicely.

Ditto one the vid card, nice PC btw...

I thought you would say a new vid card. Could ou reccomend any that are not bank breakers but will serve me well over the next few years and i will be able to run all the latest games and stuff like that.

Get the 6800GT 256mb....prices are going down fast and it's a great card.

the videocard, you dont mention your soundcard but if thats on board then that too ;-)

[Mayhem]

upgrade your video card and get the new audigy 4 pro soundcard

I would suggest a new video card, the eVGA GeForce 6800GT ... eVGA products are
used by the well known Tom's Hardware Guide (www.tomshardware.com) as the
references products when it comes to benchmarks ... If you review benchmarks
results on their site that feature NVidia video cards, they most likely used an eVGA
product for their tests ...

If you're from USA (US $$$):

If you're from Canada (Canadian $$$):

I would also upgrade to 2Gb of Ram ... but that's optional ...

Onboard soundcards aren't so bad anymore these days.
