no, my point was the memory on the video card and your system memory have no relation to each other. They are both separate and dont need to be compatible.

lol well actually my integrated one shares memory with my ram lol
guys this is probably a stupid question but will team fortress 2 play on an x300 radeon?
cos my school has a com that has that card
and also how much is a 9500gt?and will sli work on my system?
1 more thing erm i might as well try far cry 2 on my com cos if it says that it can play far cry 2 but has low fps,then they would put something like Details beside the game title
and the link would lead to something like this:http://www.intel.com/support/graphic.../CS-030545.htm
and they would say something like:F.E.A.R.* game is playable on the Intel® G33 Express Chipset, but slow or choppiness may be seen during gameplay due to low frame rate or frames per second. Individual game experience may vary depending on the game application's version and the computer's configuration.
so ill try it anyway

Yes, but some cards are not compatible with certain types of memory.

have never heard of card that had an issue with it. also aqil02 look into buying at least ddr2 800 ram, dont go for something that is on par with ddr1.

aqil02 · #67 18-11-2009, 12:06 PM

erm but that is ddr2
and is the gfx card good enough to play far cry 2?
and also is my psu good enough to even support the gfx card?
if yes
that means i jus got a computer good enough to play far cry 2 under 400 dollars XD

Yes its ddr2 but its the same speed as the ddr1 counterpart(pc 3200), you want an upgrade right?
Yes, your psu is more then enough to power that card.
I would still recommend spending more on memory ddr2 800(pc 4200), it will still work for you but memory isn't that exspensive anyway.
Your board and cpu are not compatible, you either need to look for a an lga 775 cpu(core 2 duo, etc.) or look for an AM3 board for that athalon.

ok i was just randomly choosing cheap stuff without realizing hehehe thx for warning me
so erm i have to look for say an intel board with an intel cpu or amd board with and amd cpu isit?

aqil02 · #70 19-11-2009, 06:35 AM

ok so the ram should be:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820148216
and the cpu is the on i didnt edit

and also if u guys can find any cheaper motherboards
dam i didnt know gaming pcs were this expensive!!!
i think ill probably go over 500 dollars
bummer........
ok time to research again
