Hello. I have been messing with computers for about 5 years. By far the most confusing of it all is the video card. My system is about a year old. I have a 2.6 processor with 512 of ram and 7200 80gig hard drive. Buddy of mine has a gig of ram and his seems no faster. Seems like with video cards finding the right information is hard. Everyone seems to only agree to disagree when video cards are involved. The video card I have is Power Color ATI Radeon 9250 With 256mb and 128 bit. Seems to run doom 3 fine. Question is Should I replace it soon? It has a pci interface. I am unable to use agp?? I Think its called agp anyway. To go with agp I would either have to replace the motherboard (My system is about a year old). I'm not real sure agp is that much better. If I can get 3 years out of my card that would be cool. I can just replace my whole system (maybe) I want to jump up my hard drive to a 10000 rpm. Doubling my ram seems to be a waste. Not even sure about the 10000 hard drive making that big of difference. Seen a I believe 1.6?? Processor and 512 ram and its not that much slower than mine. Upgrading my be overrated?? Still getting all the information I can before deciding. I am a average gamer. Dint play on line with others. Sorry this is so darn wordy just wanted to give all the information I can So I can get the best advice. Thank you so much........peace........im out.....running xp home with service pack 1. Jury is still out on service pack 2 in my humble oppinions
.......should I overclock it and is it safe for this card??...Sorry I will shut up now
