I don't think i'm gonna get anything of that nature at the moment. I'm content with what i have right now.

yea i have to agree with OperationSundevil, i may be running directly off my motherboard, but i dont plan on spending hundreds of dollars for something that can make my graphics look a little better. besides i am and will always be a nVIDIA fan.

That's nice and all but for the price I rather buy a 7800 GTX card that performs about the same and has technology for newer shaders and commands.

There is at least one game I know of that can make use of the 512 of ram though. Doom 3 has an option for uncompressed textures, I do not remember the command off the top of my heard but it's worth checking into if you happen to have a card with this much ram. Also I'm sure Half-Life 2 "The Lost Coast" will benefit from this much ram, as well as any future use of HDL.

I think that AGP bus is forgotten. I use it anyway. I have Winfast Geforce 6600 gt on a agp bus. CPU = 500mhz RAM = 1GHZ

It works very well in never games, and now it's time when the pci-x bus will concquer the world, because graphic cars on pci-x bus are more cheaper to produce. That's just my opinion.


Just run 3d mode Wink
