    Video Card Questions

    I know i will be flamed for this because my friends already did. One of my friends has a GeForceFX5200 128 and the other has a x300 128. I thought they were the same due to the 128, arent they? What are the differences in video cards, are there more parts to consider besides the 128?

    well i had just installed 4 games, call of duty, SWG, SW JK2, NFSU2, and when it installed DX9 it told me to restart, so i figured my CPU cant cool down that fast while restarting, so i went into BIOS and it said that. But i do know if installing 4 games one right after another is LOAD.
