Hi everyone...

I am currently having 17inch (4:3) CRT. ...& thinking of upgrading to 23inch lcd (16:9),.my question is ---- will the gaming performance get affected..I mean whether it will get slow or remain normal...

SPECS:-

P4 - 3.2GHz
DDR2- 2GB (800 MHz) 512mb (533 MHz)
Intel 945GTP
nvidia 9500GT (1GB DDR2)
160 GB SATA
idt sigmatel on board (sound card)
17inch CRT
Also...I want to buy a economic good sound card (gaming purpose as well) , as my onboard card (sigmatel) is quite annoying with vista & window 7... plz suggest me one.

The change in resolution from a 17" monitor to a 23" monitor will definitely put a lot more strain on your 9500GT when gaming.

I recommend a graphics card upgrade to go with the monitor upgrade.
The HD 5750 would give you a very noticeable performance increase and perform well at the resolutions a typical 23" monitor operates at. You'd also be able to take advantage of DX11 from Windows 7.


The Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer 7.1 is a fantastic audio card for gamers and won't give you any troubles with Windows 7. Just download the latest drivers from Creative's web site.

Newegg has it for $99.99.

If that is beyond your budget, the Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SE 7.1 is a quality budget sound card at $24.99.
