[QUOTE="mjbailey21, post: 1055028, member: 556512"] One of the PCs I game with has an AMD 2400+ in it. You should be ok with that aspect of your PC. It has an FX 5950 Ultra 256mb in it and runs all the top of the line, brand new games perfectly. You may want to look into memory too, that can be a major factor when it boils down to it. 512mb used to be more than enough but I strongly suggest 1GB of PC3200 or UP if you have a DDR(1) mobo - which I suspect. If not, your options are unlimited with DDR2. Until then, I'd upgrade your video card before the other specs. As long as your hardware isnt much lower then 2400+ or 512mb of RAM you should be ok. Another thing, take a look around on [URL="http://www.tomshardware.com"]http://www.tomshardware.com[/URL] and check the benchmarks and tests they run. Most of these vid cards have great specs now but don't go through video processing like they should. -Matt [/QUOTE]
