Heya, yeah I'm looking to get a new graphics card for my Dell Dimension 9150, cause my old one's RAM is kaput. Basically, It can't even handle HD runescape, which is just plain embarassing, as I start my computer games design course in a month. Problem being, I'm skint and can afford very little. I was looking at this:

But have no idea if its an upgrade and will be better than my current one, a GeForce 7900 GS.

Any help would be apprechiated,

many thanks,

Bobby

Ya, but my Geforce 7900 GS is not only old, but doesn't handle the heat of my computer well anymore, which has buggered its RAM. So its more of a hinderance than anything else/=

'Cheap' and 'Good' are two mutually exclusive terms when buying PC shit. You either buy 'Cheap' and it's low quality & low performance or you pay alot & get good performance & good quality neko2.gif

Thats probably not bad for the price (Asus is an okay brand, not great but not shit either) though its not a 'gamer' card so don't expect spectacular performance. It'll be fine for most things,
