I stopped messing with my bios a long time ago.It's an Asus board,there is a auto mode for that anyway.It might go to 4gb but I have 2gb right now.Should be enough.

I bought a EVGA 8800 gts 320mb card a few months ago and I have yet to find a game that makes it finch on maxed settings. Was less than $300 off newegg and It's running with the original pentium dual core running at 2.8g and 2gigs of crucial ram. The comp is the original Dell XPS 400 model. That card is worth every penny and the other plus is that it will be a few more years before I "need" to upgrade it unless I just run it SLI. Not worth it to mess around with the smaller cards when you can get one of these for a few bucks more. |

I was able to play Crysis with mine except once in a while it would freeze up on me graphically but the 8800's is the way to go until they make 9000's I'm sure.We can never catch up with the tech  .

i ws also thinking of upgrading my video card, i currently have EVGA 7600 series. I was looking into doing a Crossfire with 2 ati boards. Any comment on the ATI crossfire technology? should i bother or just get one 8800 GTS video card. If i went the route of using crossfire, i need to upgrade my powersupply. Currently playig crysis and Hellgate london. |

SLI is better, easier and the Nvidia cards are beating the ATI cards for performance and reliability right now.
