Video Card questions

[OPETH]

my mother board model is an A7V-133, thats my other PC (have 2 but both as simular specs, one is for work other is not )

This one supports AMD processors I think. Its an AMD athlon 64 1.8ghz chip on this one with 1GB ram again.
So how do I find out what upgrade my motherboard can take ?

go to the motherboard manufactures site and look it up.

it appears their site is under mantainence lol, asus are the makers of my motherboard. I can leave it for now.

So what games could my pc run without problems if I had a 6600 ? we talking mainly 6th Generation standard of games ?

I think you're overestimating sheff. I can play Crysis on my 6800GS (it doesn't look or run perfectly, but what the fuck I can play it). I haven't researched shit, but that seems pretty rediculous.

i agree, i have a radeon x800 and i can play it with low settings at about 25fps ish

i found this one, costs 5681SEK(5681/6.5=whoops, 874, might have miscalculated in my last post :P) and the specs for it is

4GB RAM
500GB HD
AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ (2x 3.0GHz)
NVIDIA GeForce 7050 (VGA / HDMI / TV-out)

now, is this an outdated video card(the GeForce 7050) or will it work fine?

oh, and the misscalculation might be becouse i thought the USD was at about 8 SEK :P

I wish I had that system, anyway just found my motherboard supports an AMD athlon 64 xp processor. 3.0ghz.

You don't need 4gb of ram. Unless you are running 64 bit Windows (Don't bother, it's awful), you won't be able to use it, most likely (although I heard that there was an update that you could install that would enable it, but I might have misread it).

Save the money on the ram, get a slower processor, and then spend the money you've saved on a better graphics card.

Looks ok, excpt for the massive amount of ram, you wont need 4gb, 2gb should be plenty. And the geforce 7050...yeah that sounds like an integrated chip to me, which means it really isnt ment to play games. I have a better card in my 12" notebook (geforce 7400) and guarenteed mine is way more peowerful then that. So get rid of 2gb of that ram, and if you have the money get an 8600 if you can, that will play crysis well.
