should be right were you need it. however you could get a 40 gs for half that but this is good just in case you decide to start playing games soon.

Speaking of that..i am able to get either the new call of duty or the new rainbow six for free...with that video card and a extra gig of ram can i run either game?

 

[ace777]

might want more ram but yes.

 

[eggyhustles]

[ace777]

oh yea im on 1 now..but i plan to purchase a extra gig with the video card. i really wanna do 4 gigs but im on xp and as i was told xp only supports up to 3

 

[ace777]

2 is MORE than enough if your really want to get vista that would be good for dx 10 and that would justify 2 more gigs of ram on top of that and the video card is almost perfect for that and will still run those game very well.
