i'm probably the least nerdy kid to play this game as much as i do, and i'm in dire need of a new graphics card, i have no idea what to get, though. i want something where i can run UO and CoD2 smoothly, and without lag. I'm thinking about 60-100 bucks? maybe you could give me some links to some sites. I'm thinkin about heading over to best buy or something like that.


thanks a lot





edit:
i've seen surfing bestbuy.com and i'm basically like "oh 100 bucks seems okay" so here's the one that caught my eye for the price-range i'm hovering around.

If you are goint to keep it, you just need to install the new card and disable the integrated one in the bios.

Your new one is probably AGP...just pop it in....its the brown slot above the many white pci slots on your motherboard. The next time you reboot, get into your bios and look for the integrated video settings. It should give you an option to disable them.

Good Luck.

my computer nerd came over and said how incredibly impossible it was to put it anywhere. i'll probably have him over again tomorrow or something, hopefully it'll work...
