All off topic discussions go here. Everything from the funny thing your cat did to your favorite tv shows. Non-programming computer questions are ok too.

PC Upgrade

Post by mvpo0geo »

Ok first off, I am a complete dummy when it comes to computer parts but I am going to be updating my computer because right now whenever I try to play any new games they all say I dont fullfill minimum requirements but they still run, just extremely slow . I have a 2.4 GHz Intel Celeron Processor, and 128 mb DDR SDRAM Memory. I have no idea about computer parts so I thought I just needed more RAM but I was told that I really need to get a Video Card. They say I bought a "budget machine" which was a onboard video which is different than a video card. So I been looking for them and found one on New Egg.com. Tell me if you think that this is the problem and if so is that the card I should be getting. The url of the site with the card is on Nvidia. It is a Nvidai 5200 with 256 mb. Is this a good one or the right thing to get?http://www.xfxforce.com/product_view.php?sku=PVT34KUA is the products url :)

First, even after buying a new video card, you still need more RAM.
Second, Geforce FX 5200 should run most of the games just fine.
