Im getting a new one for battlefield2 and i need help
ive got a small budget only 200$, ive found these video cards that look pretty good under my price,
radeon 9550 256mb
Radeon 9600XT / 256MB DDR / AGP 8X / VGA / DVI / TV Out /
Radeon 9600 / 256MB DDR / AGP 8X / VGA / DVI / TV Out /
plz help, i dont know if they will run on my comp

Is $200.00 under your price for the whole system or just the video card?

budget $200? dude you gotta be lucky, since Nvidia 6600 GT can r@p3 the list of cards you displayed. Maybe, just maybe, it is possible for you to afford a 6800 nu.

check www.newegg.com , these guys has nice prices.

I'm sure your system can handle it, just make sure your current power supply holds 350 watts @_o

make sure to check the clock speeds, etc though
but if willing to spend $200, yes there are more powerful options
all of those three might be like going from a 2 mp camera to a 3mp camera? dunno, especially if 256mb on a card instead of 128mb makes a difference playing anything other than doom3 and maybe not even then
do more research, it's not my money. peace and good luck

6600GT around $160.00
Radeon 800 256meg is around $180.00 after rebate.

k i think i found 2 that are pretty good, they are: 2nVidia GeForce 6600 / 256MB DDR / AGP 8x / DVI / TV-OUT / Video Card
Powercolor Radeon X700 / 256MB DDR2 / PCI Express / DVI / VGA / TV-Out / Video Card
also would a 128mb work on my comp?
