Help! Video card question...

[KurtLax06]

Will i see a dramatic change if i change my Nvidia Grforce4 MX420 card to a ATI radeon 9550, 8x AGP 256DDR, 128 bit...?

I play CS and COD2 btw...

And will it configure right in my computer?

Uhhhhhhhh yeah. But if you're going to get a 256MB card, get a Radeon 9800. Hell, go for a x800.

How do you even play COD2 on that GF4MX?

i found a 9550 for 80 bucks... in a perfect world i would go higher, but i have no cash lol

EDIT:

Gosh, when did I get to be such a dumb bunny. I had suggested PCI-e cards for an AGP slot. What a dip _ _ _ _! Sorry, of course PCI-e cards will not work in an AGP system, my mistake.

I think he's aiming @ AGP bud, those are both PCI-E.
Maybe you meant this?

Just a suggestion.

May I also recommend throwing a few bucks for another stick 256.
512 is just cutting it for anything now a days. Wait, your using RDRAM?
**Sigh**

yep... rd, its great if you have the money to spend on 2 512 sticks paired with their continuity module... its the cont. module thats costs you...
