Arc just wondering does your machine meet the requirments for the Nvidia?
    *  Pentium 4, AMD Athlon or compatible CPU
    * 128MB system memory
    * AGP8X slot
    * System power supply with minimum 300W or higher


Edit: With Direct X 10 coming out will our cards be able to get updated? Or will we all have to buy new cards?

Am I right to think this card is twice as good as the other?

Just get that, dont think of ATI. I'm not going to go into detail, but Nvidia cards are better for the battlefield kind of game.

But before I made the move I wanted to ask about one more card. This one here from best buy: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp … 9208162540
Its a 512, with ddr2, and agp, for 129.99, which definetly sounds awsome.
So I have two questions. One, which is the more powerful card (the first one is ddr3, while this new ones a ddr2)? And secondly about the power supply. Does it look like this new card will run on a standrad dell power supply (dont know the actually wattage)?

Ah, here's a nice one.

Probably just pop in in your slot and go.


And I'm sorry. I'm from Canada and this is a canadian store, so naturally the price is in canadian dollars. Probably cheaper in the states.

Actually let me check something...


How about this. In american dollars this time. A little more expensive but worth it for a few extra bones.  tongue

A little cheaper this time. Almost the same card. Not factory overclocked though.

Many thanks! That Geforce 6800 for $125 looks fantastic! Great find! I think I'll be going for this one...:D

Or of course the free card! Wow! That card must've been top notch about 10 years ago, and now its free big_smile (actually, that's a pretty good card for my old Pentium 2 MMX machine.. hmmmm)

Does this look like it would get the job done?

i build my pc to last so i spent a lot of money on it for it to do so.

not that i havent updated it or anything. SLI, Ram, Fans
and im still looking into wether or not to put in liqeud cooling.

so : Save money and get something better then you can get for the 120you have now.
new cards coming before bf2142. so prices will drop

There are some motherboards on the market that have BOTH AGP and PCIe slots,  If you could find one of those that just happened to be compatible with your Memory, you'd be halfway there. 

I'm in the same situation too.  I've got an old Sapphire(ATI) 9500 Pro 128MB that I was surprised was able to handle the BF2 Demo.  I have just over a Gig of Ram.

If I keep gaming, I'll definitely be building myself a new PC.  Let's see if First Strike makes me take that step. smile

If anyone finds a good (read cheap) Upgrade or New System, I'd love to hear about it. smile
