welcome to the forums!

Thanks!!

The key info we need to help you pick a graphics card is what type of card is it. Is it using the AGP bus or PCI-Express bus? If its AGP then a 7800GS or 6800GS from nvidia would work well, if its PCI-Express then a 7800GT or a X1900 from ATI would do very well.

My preference is with ATI i think the image quality is slightly better at higher resolustions and their cards seem to handel more stuff at higher frame rates than competitive nvidia... but thats just my opinion.


Welcome to the forums stick around and have some fun.

Thanks,I have right now NVIDIA GeForce 6100 GPU
Up to 128MB of shared video memory
PCI-Express(PCI-E x 16)slot available

I like to see an "older" gamer. I hope I'm not the only one that gets "bad vibes" from his wife when he spends an hour or three playing online with his son....

Yeah,I know the feeling!LOL..................
Even went through that when I had brought a Xbox & PS2 .
