Ok well heres my problem i just built my rig and its all running fine but in a few games the onboard realy does lag up a lil bit so i want something to be able to play these games for know till after X mas and then after then ifi like the awy crysis is get a new GPU to play that , or if not keep what i have now
The games are nothing intensive tbh just the likes of BF2 and HL2 and swat 4 sims 2 stuff like that
My budget is about £30
And i would very much apreciate it if people could link to either of theese 3
http://www.aria.co.uk/
http://www.microdirect.co.uk/
http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/home/

SO yeah either of them 3 would be good cos i can order from either of them , especialy the middle one cos thats like a 20min walk from my house and even quicker on the bike so no delivery charges

Also my mobo is PCI E and i only have a 400w psu so if thats an issue let me know please guys
at the moment ihave been looking at this http://www.microdirect.co.uk/(16570)Sapphire-ATi-Radeon-X1550-256MB-550MHz-400MHz.aspx and
http://www.microdirect.co.uk/(17818)Sparkle-GF-7300-Ultra-II-256MB-DDR2-PCIE.aspx
 
Get the Radeon one you linked because it's actually better than that "Sparkle" 7300GS. You shouldn't have any problems with this video card with the current PSU that you have.
 
Ok and that will be fine for them games with the rest of my rig which is
Amd Athlon X2 4000+
2 gigs DDR2 800

At the moment i can play swat 4 at low on low res but it starts lagging when you get a few ppl on the screen so i guess the card will be fine even if only at med settings

Also is it worth the extra £5 to get the model with 512mb v ram instead
 
bumpage
anyone got any other opinons
and should i go with the 512mb model cos its only like 5pound more
