I'd like to update my rig and I've decided to start with a graphics card. I'll do some light to mid-level gaming and dabble with a few high end games but I'll do it expecting realistic results (won't expect amazing speed and fantastic graphics with high resolution). I currently have a 1.4 Ghz Thunderbird with 512 megs of PC 2100 ram on a NF7-S v. 2 board. 400 watt power supply. I'll soon be upgrading to a 3.2 Ghz processor and 2 sticks of quality 256 meg PC3200 or PC3500 ram. I really won't be able to invest much more in the video card after these upgrades so I'm limiting myself to $75 for the video card. I hate to bug you guys with research that I know I should be doing myself, but I'm stuck......
I like the specs on the 9550 Radeon cards because I'm comfortable with overclocking and they're cheap. So I found the card in the below link and I really like the look of it but I can't find a review on it or anything very close for that matter. So, does anyone in here have any experience with this card? And, do you think that for the price I'm getting my best bang for the buck?
