Evil Dragon Posted June 28, 2002 Share Posted June 28, 2002 Ok, I just spent $300 on a new video card. My system is - Pentium 4 1600+ Nvidia GeForce 4 ti 4400 512mb RAM Ummmm... LCD Screen with max of 1024x768 40gb hard drive. Anyways, I still feel like it's not good enough. What am I missing? Can I get some help here?

unimatrixzer0 Posted June 28, 2002 Share Posted June 28, 2002 sounds to me you have more than enough power on that dell to run basically any game with max settings... dunno what kinda sound card you have, but you could upgrade that with an audigy if you're really intent on it. honestly you'll always feel like your computer is crappy, you'd have to upgrade literally every month to have the best shizzle around. like the next generation video cards are right around to corner, I dunno what your previous video card was, but if it was atleast a GF3 or Radeon 8500, then it probably wasn't worth the investment. Thats all just my opinion. But hey, if you have the money to burn why not? ;) Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
