Question about CPU and Video cards....common... help please!

[Raugrist]

OK, why don't you just upgrade to a decent video card? You can probably get a nice 32MB card for 50 cents. Well, maybe that's an exagerration, but now that we're up to 128MB+ (I use 128 as the example just because it's what I have), you can get the older ones much cheaper if you can find them. Check your paper.

yea... well... i dont think a huge video card will work a sh1ty pent 1 too well..

*** i posted my question at dev hardware forums ... so... yea...

i think i mite just wait till june... *** i getting a wicked comp for downstairs..


then i will take the video card (2.5MB <<<also has goo d res and stuff...) from the current downstairs comp... then put that in my room comp...

Who the hell would put 512MB on a video card with sub-standard clock/mem speeds =P The memory is simply for loading textures and such, the more textures and the higher the resoloution the more memory is required on a video card.
