^^^Not Always True

Like I Said For CoD4 You Might Wanna Get ATI And The X800 Or X850 Is Prime For The Games Demand

Your Probably Gonna Need A New Chipset And Motherboard But Its Worth It Trust Me, Im Upgrading To An ATI Setup In March

ya i agree with that but i figure as long as he gets at least a 128-256 card it should be a nice improvement compared to a geforce 5 series cuz thats pretty old

Im On A 6 Series 256 Card With 2 512 Ram Sticks And World Of Warcraft Lags Alot, So Now A Days Games Require Such A High End Card That The Typical Nvidia And Sum Ram Isnt What It Used To Be

Either Way Look Into ASUS, With An ATI GPU, Chipsets Can Vary, I Dont Fuck With Intel But Sum Cats Swear By It. And Last A Nice Cooling System Or Atleast 3 Cooling Fans

right now i got a geforce 7300 gs 256 mb pci-e card with 3 gigs of ram and i do fine on every game i play so far, but i guess it depends on what the rest of ur system is like too cuz puttin a nice card and some ram into an old ass computer isnt gonna do much

Having someone who really, really, really knows computers clean your system out helps a fuck lot.

Ive given people double or triple their own computer power/capacity

Cleaning out your registry, old programs, OLE garbage, keeping an eye on your running processes, uninstalling unneccessary software, putting your OS an a seperate 15 gig partition, etc. makes a HUGE difference.

All that shit makes a huge difference.

I have TuneUp Utilities 2006 with a key if anyone wants it. It can do alot of this shit for you (everything but the partition).
