Graphics Card, CPU, I Just Don't Know Here...

[Mogulman]

Hi there.

Well, here are my specs first:

AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual
Core Processor 3800+
2.00 GHz, 2.00 GB of Ram
NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GS 256 MB


Ok, so, I have to run the game at the lowest resolution in order for the game not to get fraggy and chug. So, do I just need to update my graphics card or what?... Please help. Thanks.

The 7300 is pretty low end. For $100 you can pick up a 7900GS, which runs my Bioshock on mostly high settings

yes .

7300GS is a $50- card. http://www.frys.com/product/4970851

Ok, thanks. Would it be a better idea then to just get a 8600 and spend $200?

so could i switch from my current ATI to a nvidia GeForce 7900 GS OC 256MB without having any compatability problems?

No. The 7900GS is faster than any 8500/8600 and cheaper than the 8600s. http://www.vr-zone.com/articles/Main...s/4902-10.html

I don't know there...probably...oh, and do I really need 2.4 GHz or more?

You'll be fine.
