Hi guys
I'm building a new rig, witha XP 1800+ with 256 MB DDR and need some recommendations on a video card. I'm in Australia so prices over here are a lot higher than US.
My options are:
Hercules AIW 7500 OEM for about $200 (US Dollars) - Very interested in this one, but a bit worried it will be too slow for games. Play a lot of CS, DOD, and FPS, Serious Sam 2 etc. Will this card be able to handle 1024x768 and above ok?
ATI 8500LE 64 MB DDR for about $200 US Dollars.
Or a Geforce 3 Ti200 for 128mb for about $150 US Dollars.
The features on the AIW are very attractive, but the reviews seems to point it to the same speed as a Geforce 4 MX (not super quick) and the AIW 8500 is WAAAY out of my price range. Also, being OEM, does it come with the software for the TV Tuner etc?
Thanks guys
