tiredoflogins Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 I love to play AOM and AOE on my box. Thats the only thing I use it for, apart from checking emails. I recently upgraded from 128 MB DDR to 256 MB DDR. I noticed an increase in speeds, but I am thinking of getting a cheap Video Display Card. That should speed up gaming.Any recommendations? I am looking for something in the range of $ 20 - 30.I have another box where I test new software (mostly beta). Its got 512 MB SDRAM and a 1.3 Ghz AMD Processor. I format this machine average twice in a month. I notice that quite a few applications take loads of time to install. How do you speed up the installation time for applications?

MrCobra Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 nVidia 6800 GT or a Radeon 9800. Either will do fine. Stay away from the *cheap* hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aresgodofwar Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 i second that motion. if your going to spend money on a video card, may as well get a decent one. if you get the bottom of the line card, then you will regret it when a game comes out you want to play, but your card is insufficient. if you are absolutely sure that you won't do that, then go right ahead and get a cheap card. i have found the best prices at newegg, and they have free shipping on most products.
