graphics upgrade?

cpu-z

the main question: is it worth upgrading the graphics from radeon 9250 to lets say 7600GT or will it be comprimised? (AGP slot)

i think cpu and memory are not that good too, i might upgrade them too lol, but depends on what you think.

ill wait for your comments

Oh yes its worth it list your system specs psu as well please then we will see how far up the ladder you can go
Mactronix

yes that is definantly worth it
list your pc specs to see where you will begin to bottleneck

im in the same situation bro, i have a dell 8300, and it has a psu of 305w.. so i decided, for the price and the performance, ill probably get this.

suicide silence? will the 7600GT bottleneck? i have a dell 8300 with 512mb ram( most likely getting a gig or 2 more ) , 305w psu, Pentium 4 3.0ghz, 120gb hard drive, and a dell 17" crt.. i dont think thats much to bottleneck

what's your psu?
and what kind of games do you play?

for higher resolutions and eye candy it might be a good idea to upgrade.
i would suggest a card in the 7600gs/gt range.

@freakonaleash, i'm running a 7800gt on gigabyte cb91 with 2 gb ram, pentium 4 3.2 ghz, 2x 250 gb hdd, and 270w psu. haven't played oblivion on it yet, but i think it manages quite well in nfs. don't think there's too much of a bottleneck. now the 8800s...

You're going to upgrade?? If you are going to stay with agp the 7600gt will not hurt you at all..

mobo

cpu-z

1G memory PNY
radeon 9250 256mb

PSU: Hiper Power 350W ATX 12V

so is a 7600GT still fine?

I say go for it!
your psu should be able to support it. the psu calculator only seems to require about 275w psu for your configuration with the 7600gt.

and it will certainly increase the level of eyecandy!
