---My Computer now---

AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1600+ - probably not upgrading since processers cost a shit load right??
1.40 GHZ
608 MB of RAM - upgrading to 2 gigs
32mb via s3g graphics card

but with the 1.40 ghz processer and 2 gigs of ram and 512 mb graphics card would games like fable, cs source or halo pc run fine on my computer? I'm not looking to play new games just games like that.

but for like 5 dollars more there is like 200mb more of memory or whatever,



dont know if you saw my last post or not i edited it
 
Its a new card, its got more power behind it, it supports dx10 in vista. The 7300 is a pretty old card from todays point of view, while the 3650 is probably one of the more higher powered cards, and more than likely one of the few good cards that will be comming out on agp. What case do you have at the moment? The card with the fan Should fit in your computer as its not an extremly large card(compared to an 8800gt, etc).
 
how do i check what case i have its some piece of junk msi computer
also how do i check the wattage

$%!# i only have this much wattage and im pretty sure thats a bad thing
Field Value
Maximum Power 48.5 - 74.3 W (depending on clock speed)

Check the wattage by taking the side panel off the computer, looking at the power supply, and there should be a sticker on the power supply. See how many watts it says, and also look under +12V, there should be a number below it which is the amperage of the 12 volt rail.
 
read my last post , but it says

ac-
input voltage-
115/230v current 6A/4A frequency 60/50HZ

i dont know if thats what you were asking for , I'm not very good with computer hardware
 
Does it say anything more? There should be a chart on the side that looks somewhat like:
What specifically im looking at, see the +12v1 and under it it says 20A? Your power supply should say +12V and have a number under it. Post back with that information and we should be able to tell if you need a better psu or not.

umm it says 13A and then 156W

im guessing it will not work because my computer is a piece of $%^&
