Now I was wondering what games will run good with this set etc Also I know my gfx card stinks, I bought without research. Specs: AMD64 3200+ ASUS A8V-MX VIA UniChrome Pro K8M800 SoundBlaster 24Bit HD w/e GeoForce 4400 MX 128MB 768MB Of DDR-184 (1x256)PC2700 + (1x512) PC3200 Was this a good choice? Thanks
Except for the video card, it's not a bad system. You'll be limited to AGP video cards (unless you go with PCI cards---which aren't much better than what's integrated onto the motherboard) instead of the newer PCI Express (PCIe---different than PCI). The only modern game you'd likely be able to play is Half-Life 2---and that's because of the engine design flexibility. Get something like a GeForce 6600 or 6600GT ($80-130 range) and that'd open up a nice area of performance.
It's better, but don't expect to run Doom 3 or Oblivion that well. Again, a GeForce 6600 or 6600GT or ATi Radeon X1600Pro/X1600XT or X800 cards would be the best choices without spending gobs of money on a new card.
Ok I will get that GeForce 6600. First Ill need to save up lol I could take that card back to walmart but dont feel like it. So yah Ill just keep my 128MB then here in a month or so I will get a GeForce 6600, thanks. Reason is because I just spent over $300 so yeah. I have $400 still but thats gay savings lol
Yeah, you can get something better than a 6600 (and make sure it's AGP, your motherboard does not support PCIe cards), but that will at least allow you to play games made in 2006, not 2000.
POWERCOLOR R96E-TVD3 Radeon 9600XT 256MB 128-bit DDR VIVO AGP 4X/8X Video Card - OEM How about that one. And my motherboard supports pci-express x1.
