    Default New graphics card information

    I had a previous thread on here about possibly upgrading my graphics card, but I don't want to revive a dead thread so I've made a new one.
    If I've broken any forum rule, I'm sorry.

    You have a PCI-E socket, so for that money I would reccomend:

    That will be a superb addition to you system. Although, what are you trying to run on the system, games?

    If you are not going to be running latest games at high res then look at the x1600/7600 gt range

    x1600 £70 : http://www.aria.co.uk/ProductInfoComm.asp?ID=25270

    7600GT £73 : http://www.aria.co.uk/ProductInfoComm.asp?ID=24384

    You misread his budget, he has 100-140. So a 70 card isnt a good idea for an option.

    70 is less than 100 - 140 so its an option depends what he wants to use the card for?

    For gaming mostly, I play games like Far Cry, Company of heroes, Dawn of war, HL2, CSS and such.

    By the way, I noticed for my system memory it says DDR SDRAM.
    Will that make any difference in choosing cards?
