Okay, Ive got a "Not very new" computer that I'm going to upgrade the Graphics card and the Memory to get a little extra gaming performance. I'm mainly doing this to be able to play the game Requiem.

System Requirments for game:
System Requirements

Minimum Requirements

Recommended Requirements
CPU

Pentium 4 2.0 GHz \ AMD Athlon XP 2000+ or Faster
RAM

512 MB

1GB Or higher
VGA

Geforce FX 5600 \ Radeon HD2 or Equivalent

Geforce 6600 \ Radeon 8500 series or Higher
Pixel Shader 2.0 or Better



Anyways... heres my computers current hardware.
Processor: AMD Athlon XP @ 1.9GHz
RAM: 768MB PC-3200
Graphics Card: RADEON 9200 LE Family 128MB

Any recommendations on memory and RAM?
 
Due to your processor, you almost certainly will be wanting an AGP video card, as I highly doubt you have a PCIE 16X slot, and you almost certainly don't have PCI slots only. The Geforce 7600GS is a cheap, decent video card that would work well for you...and comes in an AGP version. If you live in the US, you should be able to find one on newegg.com

I would download CPU-Z, it will give you information about many of your system specs. Knowing what your motherboard was would help confirm everything you need.
 
What would be better.. 7300GT 512mb or 7600GS with 256mb

$10 more then 7600GS with both on rebate
