im looking into playing bf2. i have 512mb of ram. a 2.4ghz intel p4, 200gb 7200 western digital hd. now im looking into getting either 1gb or 512 mb more of ram along with this video card. im not looking to spend more than 150$ on a video card. i need an agp graphics card cuz i have an asrock p4v88 mother board. any suggestions on other prefered video cards and how much ram is enought to play bf2 on at least medium settings would be appriciated. heres what i wana get http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814133176 my current video card http://www.newegg.com/Product/CustR...&SortField=0&SummaryType=ALL&Pagesize=&Page=6
Definetly go with a 1gb upgrdae and the video card is not bad, but BF2 is getting more power hungry. Id say get a 78 -79 hundred becasue its better. If possible get a 512 upgrade and use the money to get a better video card.
so ur saying go with just 1gb ram all together and go a step higher in the video card? with the 7800 or 7900 series with 512 mb on them? if possible could u link me to them thanks
Since you still have AGP your really tied down with what you could get, PCI-E would be optimal but this is as big as you can go and it will be well worth the money for performance, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814143046 having one gb is good for system Ram but i noticed 2 GB really made a difference on my comp, but if your gonna go two GB id say think about possibly replacing the mobo with PCI e
