LOL And if you turn the resolution down, it'll run Minesweeper flawlessly!

Mine is the BFG Tech nVIDIA GeForce 6800 OC (NU)

Your system RAM won't really effect your video card, it should work fine.

whoa... it looks great.. well, i think i have to save a lot before i can buy that.. thanks for the info... =)

 

[alvino]

LOL No Problem!

yes i have a 5200 and i havnt had 1 problem due to the card but the thing is i can run H-L2 on high nicely (it might be because its a demo) and i only have (i say only cause im upgrading) 512 Ram

But yes the card does suck anywayz im upgrading to a 6600GT YAY

yeah, the 6600gt is pretty nice. but why not just save up a litle more and get the 6800? its a better card and will out perform almost any card. the 6800 or the x850 are my choices for the high end cards. but until i have the moeny to get the x850, ill stick with my x300. yeha!
