Yup i know bout the dx9...i bought it for dx8 games not dx9 coz nvidia added only software support for dx9 just so it can come under latest cards category. Anyways even tho it wont run games in proper dx9 mode it still manages torun evrything n would actually perform well(800*600 res,medium settings and 30+ fps is my def of good) if i had good other components. Wat do you suppose is more imp...another 256mb ram or getting a prescott coz i'm runnin on a non-existent budget  Dont prescotts have overheating issues? |

At a moment i'll just go for ram i think. It seems to be the bottleneck, more so coz xp also takes a decent bit of ram. I'll just upgrade my processor straight away to a 64bit amd sometime later when i can afford it. |

Every game wants 512mb of ram dont you think? Painkiller wanted 384 but still ran good tho with high load times, hl2 wanted 512 so it was often laggy. If gfx card was bottleneck dont you think games should run atleast in dx8 mode but hl2 wouldnt do even that...it had detected my card as dx8 hardware and videoram is also good(128mb 128bit) but still it lagged and was accessin my hard drive to often. Damn computer hardware becomes old too soon... |
