    Yeah, I don't want to spend much more on this pc, but I need a better graphics card, definitely. I have a Radeon 9200SE. So... I have AGP 8x, and I would like a cheapish (under £100) card, and I am looking to do a dual monitor setup, so if you have any suggestions for monitors, although I have one I want, it would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hardware? Just some old crap stuff. I heard the 6600GT and 7600GS GDDR3 versions were quite good.
    I will get you a CPU-Z screen if you want.

    I need your hardware, because it has no use buying a better and expensiver card, while you won't gain any performance..

    probably to play games... that would probably be a good reason...


    my advice is to go with that x1950pro that devestation linked to. it's a little over budget, but it's a rather good card.

    but wow, they really rip you guys off, it's only like $120USD over here, something like 70L

    I am running on junk, I think I won't get much of a boost. And yes, they charge us crap over here.
    Okay, my specs are:
    Pentium 4 (9) 2.6GHz . 512Mb RAM DDR PC2700 (2x256). I think that's the relevant stuff.

    I will use it for gaming, but the most recent and "intensive" game I have is Command and Conquer 3.

    why not just buy some extra DDR Ram and a new card?s since you only have 512mb of RAM

    I want to get a new computer in the near future, and it will most definitely use DDR2 RAM.

    That doesn't answer my question, Why not buy a stick of 512mb and a cheap card. like go with a Radeon 9600XT 128mb, that what i use for C&C 3 and it looks pretty good to me.

    I personally think that I don't need any more RAM currently, and I don't want to spend unnecessary money. On scan.co.uk, the Radeon 9600XT is over £100 too.

    Hmm, I think the x1650XT will be just good, so it won't limit your cpu. Spend the rest of your money on a 512mb stick or a single gb. Ram and your graphic card is limiting your gameplay right now...
