Re: map type poll

Well my saving grace has been a gig an a half of RAM, and my system can meet medium settings on most of teh bf2 graphics with pretty standard performace. I'm debating whether to buy myself a new card this holiday (I've been good) or to wait until direct X 10 supporting cards come out. Now that we're on teh subject, can someone clarify how that works for me? Are dx10 supporting cards out yet? If not, when?

Re: map type poll

Off topic:  You have to watch out though ArcAngel. If you have a 5200 you probably have an AGP card. Most cards now are PCI-e. You might be hard pressed to find anything good for your mother board. I think there is one 7800 card that comes in AGP. Also, most newer cards use a lot more power. A 350-400W psu wont cut it anymore. You have to be carful when upgrading graphics cards now, there are so many factors to consider.

on topic: I like large maps with lots of vehicles. Dragon Valley comes to mind. I loved that map.

Ack, sorry to continue this. Contact me on XFIRE, "generalandrew" minus the quotes as a friend and I'll tell you my suggestions for purchasing a new video card, without all of the garble.
