j w 0 Posted February 3, 2006 For a bit more (25$ ) you might be able to find a GeForce 6600, well, some dutch internetshops do, if you can find aswell in a shop, just turn of the heat and dont eat the next few days and you can afford it! Â Yes, I will take that in consideration... No seriously, I can probably squeeze that in my budget... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

j w 0 Posted February 3, 2006 Well, either I buy a more expensive card (and another 512MB ram) and wait a bit longer to buy a flat screen... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NeMeSiS 11 Posted February 3, 2006 Don't like flat screens... Me neither, it looks really crappy compared to an old CRT monitor  (well, the image itself, right now i use a 10 year old crt thing, 17" but its HUGE, if this table was smaller i had to use a flatty! ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, the question about more than one gig of ram, I think I've read somewhere that WindowsXP can't address more than one GB of RAM for an application, witch sould mean that you won't be getting that much of an improvement, but if you are multitasking it should be helpful. Altough I'm not sure if that information is actually true. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, well, the responstime is often very better in a fat-screen (otherwise known as CRT, monitor), but I found a flat with 8ms for a good price. That's more then enough, but the lower the better...
