Help Please I know nothing about computers and am getting a new graphics card.

Well alot of people say the get better fr on doom 3 than on JO. My friend plays with a fr of 5 lol. It probably due to the maps being huge and you can have up to 150 people on 1 server at a time.

Well, hey, its your choice (duh!:rolleyes: ) If you want a new one, get it, if you don't then don't. I know almost 0 about gaming, cause I never do it (ya, I know, a kid not doing gaming:eek: ) but I prefer learning things:eek::cool:here

Usually on the front, back, side, whatever, just look around on the outside. And make sure it is the MODEL # not the SERIAL #, the serial is yours, not for anybody else to know ;)

Wait a minute, i am not positively sure any 4x gfx card will work with your system, that's why I wanted a model #. Do you know what it is?

Check how? And your computer is 4X, you need to make sure that the 8X card will work with 4X. Most do, but not all.

I would go with the FX5500 of FX5700, but it is your choice. Both of those are definitely 4X as well as 8X

BTW, I have the 5500
 
ohh i think this might only be 8x. Also I typed in my model number and basically the only differnece is my computer is 2.2ghz not 2 and its case is a little different in design.

Typed where? Different from what?

I typed that into a search engine and the graphics card is 8x I think.

Which graphics card? The FX series is all 8x/4x, I know

BTW, this is all your choice. I have given you pretty much all the advice that I can without looking at your computer. If you KNOW that your computer is 4x, and you really want a new gfx card, then find a gfx card that says in the specs 8x/4x. Other than that, I can't really tell you much more.

I will still be around, btw:rolleyes:, if you have any more questions

So, good luck and happy gaming:cool:

The ATI you wanted is just 8x
 
Ohh there is 1 little probelm witht the cards you told me look at. I was hoping to get a 256mb not a 128mb which are the only ones within my price range. Also I dont know the first thing about over clocking so im not likely to.

I take back everything I said b4, the 9550 is also 4x

"Supports the AGP 8X and AGP 4x standard, providing a high-speed link between the graphics board and the rest of the PC"

:o

Argh, those little specs are so hard to find.

So sure, get that one if you don't want to OC. And, basically, to OC a gfx card, you move a little slider up a little bit at a time, and it (normally) works better

I am not liable for you blowing up your computer if you don't know what you are doing:D
