Re: video card?

CoDUO requires a much weaker vidcard than BF2 does. Personally, I wouldn't recommend anything less than a 6600GT. Your best bet would be to go with a 6800Ultra or a 7800GTX.

I am running a 6800GT OC'd to Ultra speeds and I can run the game on Medium-High settings, 1280x1024 res, and 4xAA and get 50 - 80 fps. The 2 cards I mentioned will top that, so there you have it. Don't go cheap with a vidcard. Save your money and get the real deal. If you are willing to wait, the 7900GTX will be coming out later this year.

omfg, that system is pathetic lol! Sorry to laugh at you, but damn, you need to upgrade now! That memory is so low. This is what I would suggest for you. I don't know what your budget is though.

1GB DDR RAM (2x512MB)
NVidia 6600GT 256MB
Leadtek WinFast K8N Pro nForce3 Mobo
AMD Athlon 3000+ CPU (3.06GHz)

I didn't get exact pricing, but that bundle would cost you in the neighborhood of $550 - $600.

Yeah, my bad. I was thinking about something else when I typed that.
