Want to get new vid card, any other hardware I need?
I was shopping around at best buy the other day, and came across the 9800 XT 128mb Radion, by ATI, priced at $300. I have a little cash i could use to upgrade my pc, and I heard this new 9800 XT line from radeon Rocks in putting out lots of FPS. I run a Nvidia Geforce MX somethin, 64mb right now. It's...i guess..ok, But i think this new ATI vid card would put out a lot more FPS in my gaming. Anyway, would this new card slow down my pc? Here are the basic specs:
P4 2 Ghz cache: 512MB
120 GB 7200 RPM hard drive
Not sure which motherboard i have, dont know how to check in mandrake 9.2
Could my processor still handle the video card? would I see much of a difference really?
Thanks for the time to answer my question.
