My question is which one should I get. 1G of Ram. with a 128MB video card. Or 512Ram and a 256MB video card.

Right now I just have 256RAM and a 64MB integrated video card. The one bad thing about Christmas is all the decisions. :D
 
Well, it totoally depends with which card you get. A 256mb 6200 is nothing compared to what a 128mb 6800 can do, like this 128mb card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814140067 over this card
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814127186 Are you getting it? I would get RAM though. You need it more often than a video card. Well, of course, I don't know how often you play games, but, for me, I would get more RAM. Get 1g of ram and a good 128mb card, which there are so many great 128mb cards out there. It all depends on your budget...
 
I should have sed first off that this is for one of my old computers. it takes DDR RAM and PCI-slot video card. Ya I know the mobo stinks. but the most I want to spend is around $150. I know its not going to be able to play anything really good. But I would really appreciate your opinions.
 
Ok, in that case... yeah, the 1g of ram, still. A 256mb pci vid. card is not worth getting my friend. I don't know where you live, so if you want links, ask... :D
 
hmm........ dont know how where i live hast to do with links but ya i Love links.

So if you have any links to post go for it
 
memory is the second most important part of gaming. you dont need a 256 mb vid card to play games like cs or hl2. 1 gig of ram is very important because it willl be very useful when windows vista comes out.
