I think your going to have to save up more money to get a reasonably decent video card to play games with. I only gave you one choice of computer shop to look in, have a Google around for Canadian websites you might just be lucky...

Crayon, unfortunately...the price range you've got and limitations by the AGP slot is too restricting.

The 5500 will be out of date already when you buy it...it won't even support DX9c

The 7800GS i mentioned earlier does support it, and it will play some of the current games on max detail with high res...my computer can't play all the new games that are being released in max detail with high res...

kk great thanks for the input, I just didn't want to spend too much since I wasnt planning on continuing to play games. I was more generally looking toward some of the RTS out right now, counterstrike source, and bf2142. thats about it. ANd my other thread regarding my pc issue hasnt been resolved yet, please it would be very much appreciated if you guys would help with that issue.

Hi Crayon, if you're interested in RTS, i suggest looking toward supreme commander...

i've been playing the beta quite a bit (was lucky enough to get in) and my pc handles it extremely well with all the details up high - and the engine is extremely unoptimised at present...keep following it.

Gas Powered Games
