know theres alot of these

[Thrwdwn]

But you guys seem to know your stuff, so do you think this will run PS good on my comp?

Gateway
Intel Pentium 4 CPU 1.60Ghz
512 MB RAM
Geforce 4 mx 440 64mb
Cable Connection

Thanks in advance!

I'd like to know what kind of RAM you have (SDRAM/DDR RAM/RDRAM and speed of RAM) but yeah. That processor's looking a little anorexic, but it's still quite capable. And the GeForce 4 MX isn't TOO great a card, but it'll suffice.

If you have ~$150 lying around, go nab yourself a GeForce 4 Ti4200 or a Radeon 9500 PRO. That'd go great with your machine.

is a GeForce FX 5200 AGP 128MB DDR DVI a good vid card??

[SpaceDrake]

It's a bit more than a GeForce 4 MX, but it's a heavily stripped-down version of NVidia's crappy GeForce FX 5800 card. It technically has full DirectX 9 support, but nowhere near enough raw horsepower to USE it. You'd do better with a GeForce 4 or a Radeon 9500 PRO (especially the latter, since it has full DirectX 9 support too, and the horsepower to make it work!)

Here's a good review of the card.

pretty sure SDR

errr your talking about video card right?

[SpaceDrake]

Hmm. Give me the model number of your Gateway and I'll double-check. And I'm talking about your machine's MAIN memory (the 512 MB.) The card's memory is hopefully DDR.

[Thrwdwn]

sorry dont know crap about comps so i dont know where to check

[Thrwdwn]

well im pretty sure its DDR ram then

[SpaceDrake]

Model number should be on the front of the case.
