thats a nice system apart from the graphics card ,i know you dont want to buy a new one but you woulod notice one h**l of a difference if you did .not sure if that board is pci-e or agp but an upgrade would make gameplay soooomuch better

just seen its a pci-e board then go for a 660 or 6800 the diference would be phenominal over the 300 which is a bottom of the range card and it spoils what is a good system

ok so what do you guys suggest... i mean i am turning 17 soon i want to upgrade parts on my car, but i love my computer also.. i thought i can overclock the thing and not worry about paying for a new graphics card.

if i did pay for a graphics card, what would it be and how much would it cost?
and i know this isnt a gaming forum, but should i upgrade to 2gz or ram or no just save my money.. because if i ugpraded both ram and graphics that means i would buy battlefield2 = no more money left over.

thanks a lot!

to be honnest i prefer the orginial ati drivers they work better for me.. stick to the normal ati drivers i think its 5.7 now, dont use the catalyst control center use the other one that comes with the driver and control pannel, when i use catalyst control center games seem to run slower for me http://www2.ati.com/drivers/5-7_xp-2..._wdm_24085.exe

but i guess u can try both..
