What do you guys think? Specs Graphics Processor / Vendor NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT That is not bad at all. you will be able to play d3 & sc2 at max detail. | ||

Ok well I don't know much about video cards, but I thought that the NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT is worse then the NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT and the 9800 and a decent card. | ||

Of course the 9800 is better...it's a newer card. That doesn't make the 9600 bad, though. It's just older. You'll be able to play any game out right now with it. | ||

What the fuck are you thinking? what does ram have to do with video cards? :o 9600gt is pretty dated, you will be able to play most games but with newer games you usually have to turn a few settings down esp at higher res. i'd go for a 9800. also that processor wont be as good as a high end dual core for intensive games like l4d and stuff. | ||
