Hi I bought the game Call to Duty 4 I can't play it on my pc. The sys.requiremts say I need a ATI radon 6800 pro and a Driectx 9.0compatable sound card.

My sys. has 3.2 GHz Hyper-Threading
1024 memory DDR
160 GB ultra DMA hard drive
ATI Raidon 9200SE AGP 8xgraphics card with 128MB ddr video memory

Can I get another vidio card and if so what do you recomend.
Thank Yoy

Well, beings you are running AGP you will be limited but...
to play some later games I would suggest a 3650, 2600xt or perhaps a 3850 depending on what you want to spend. All come in AGP flavor and would be leaps and bounds above your current card.

For $80 I think the 3650 would be a decent match for your CPU. Also, another gig of ram might help. If you want to spend a bit more I listed the other mentioned cards as well. Honestly I'm not sure if getting the extra horspower will benefit you (CPU bottleneck). It may at least allow you to do some Anti Aliasing, maybe others will chime in.

3650 512MB ~$75

2600XT 512MB ~$99

3850 512MB ~$115

If you can stick another gig of ddr in that would help things too, you have reached the stage where any components you buy will be at a premium cos its old tech. (check the prices of ddr vs ddr2 kits). Its buy a new pc time soon....
