| 615794 | 2007-11-28 04:28:00 | I really need some help. I have a PCIe slot and i am loooking for a card that will be good to play counterstrike and other first person shooters. I have a budget of about $350max. I am also looking for a RAM upgrade, i have 2 slots and i am looking for 400 or 533 MHz DDR2 unbuffered SDRAM, 2 sticks totaling 2gb. If anyone could suggest what the minimum i would need for the graphics card or just an explanation of the numbers please reply. All help is greatly appreciated. |

| 615797 | 2007-11-29 15:53:00 | I bought a Nvidia GeForce 7300 GT for my computer about 6 months ago. I leanred that my computer HAS to have some good airflow or a nice card like you are looking at will overheat. I have an HP so you can imagine the crappy airflow I have. My HP has one exhaust fan and one 4"X 5" vent on the side. Just a little notice for you to think about. I guess if the card comes with its own fan this wont be a problem...This was just my experience with my video card. |
