    computer parts

    after my question last night i was wondering
    im up grading to 1 gig 512mb of ram
    and a p4 3.4 processor

    with one of these video cards

    ATI Radeon X700 Pro ViVo AGP 256MB Video Card 300$
    ATI Radeon X850 Pro 256MB AGP Graphics Card 400$

    would the cheeper one run it? because i dont want to spend to much money

    and with this set up would it run bf2 and bf2 special forces?

      You have reached a crossroads between a dying agp board up to pci-e. Also upgrading (I'm assuming socket 478) to a better processor. The only thing I can recommend is to save your money and upgrade to socket 939 and an athlon 64, and get a pci-e card. This will future proof your rig for at least the next couple of years.

          Either of them could, but if you get the x700, it will be only run BF2 at low-med settings. I suggest getting a x800GTO.

            Where the hell does a X850 pro cost $400.

                  The X850PRO will run med-high.

                  And you can get those for almost half the price you mentioned. Wherever you're getting that card, you're geting ripped off pretty bad...

                      USD= Uninted States Dollars

                      Nevermind the question though, I see you're Canadian.
