upgrading an integrated video card...

Yes and in order to convince her to get you that Gig, don't call it Ram, but call it the game De-violencizer

 

whats the gig for?

 

Thanx 4 the info about sapphire compared to diamond. Not exactly what I wanted to hear. I guess I could have gotten a 6600gt but I already ordered 9600xt b4 I joined this discussion. That's the way it goes. Besides my kid thinks the fancy box is COOL. Thanx.

 

The extra Gig would come in handy for applications like photoshop,BF2, video editing, etc,etc.. that use up a lot of system resources, XP becomes a bit smoother as well .... use skidme's explaination on your mom lol

 

oh..i just got a pci slot fan it helps a little bit with the help of a house fan at idle its around 35-39c and when i use it its like 40-45c is that good or should i get another fan?

 

Them temps are fine , no need to worry

 

oh ok...must be the pci fan or somthing cause when i had the big housefan directly towards the video card its the same temp as right now
