whats this card like ? would this be able to run new games?

I went to another site and it gives loads of info on the card above, sounds pretty cool

Since I\'m a lazy bastard I\'ll just list some good (and relatively cheap) gfx cards. The order is cheapest/slowest to more expensive/faster:

Geforce 3 Ti 200
Geforce 3
Geforce 3 Ti 500
Geforce 4 Ti 4200

All of those should be fairly cheap and should give you nice performance.

Ive been looking at the Inno3D Tornado GeForce3 Ti200 128Mb DDR with TV-Out  for £86

That should be an ok card. How much is the cheapest GeForce4 Ti 4200?

about £115, I don\'t have the cash. But I did that system test at nvidia and this is what i got http://www.boomspeed.com/stevetgha/performance.jpg it will still be a huge improvement

Yeah, the GF3 Ti 200 will do nicely, it\'s just not the \'top of the line\'. But neither if your CPU, so all in all it should work out alright.

cheers, just one question and I\'ll let you get back to your porn hunting will my comp be able to run new games like warcraft 3 and top fps

that card
320 ram
1ghz pro
40 gb

Yeah, it should!

It should be ok... but remember that WC3 requires a lot. I have 850MhZ Athlon, GeForce 2 MX 64mb, 640 SD ram, and I have to  set all effects to the lowest... or else it starts to lag a lil bit when a lot of stuff happens at once.
But, your PC will be ok untill next year... when ID release their new Doom III engine After that, u need a new comp... no doubt about that hehe.

I\'ll be buying a new one next year anyway, just need somthing for now. Doom lll looks to good.

Well, the GF3 is a lot better than a GF2 mx, which is quite limited performance wise.

Also, by me having that piece of crap I have right now could that casue more problems, like when I play a game all of a sudden the character will spin round and just lag out or make the sound bad or make the screen **** up like when I was playing allied assault.

I just found this, its about £20 more is this better
