It is RAM! Now where its set is different. Oh well you understand now. So that is ended.

so? 256mb or 128 is not what makes the card good. in fact the best video cards are the 128 mb. Correct Wrong. It depends on what the video cards are for, but we will go with gaming for now. The best video cards for gaming include 256MB of ram. the 6600GT and up. what are you talking about.. I wasnt...

No, graphics cards only work with computers compatible to them. It is usually printed in the instruction book for the graphics card. And I didn't say they wouldn't work with his computer. He really needs to give his computer specs out so we can help him select a video card. Anyways he mentions he h...

Wrong. It depends on what the video cards are for, but we will go with gaming for now. The best video cards for gaming include 256MB of ram.
the 6600GT and up.

,do you think that someone could get a 256, 128 would be enough for me, but personally 256 would pwn, i am wondering if it as all possible Yeah sure you could probably use a 256MB card but its gonna do nothing in the long run. Unless its like a 6800 or 6600. But any other card smaller then that doe...

If you can tell us your computer's specs. If not get something like sisoft sandra and look them them up with that.

That card can't ever use 256MB to its advantage. He might as well get a 128MB geforce 5200. The GPU is not powerful enough to make use of it.

the 5950 is not the best deal.
The card is crap.

The 256MB DDR ram is worthless in that card.
It can make use of the extra 128MBs of ram.

No Doom3 will play crappy on it as well HL2 a bit.
The FX5200 is crap.

Thanks SnaFuBAR!
Nice lot of tutorials should help me.

I'm not going to try to get on the wrong side with anyone, but you may have a 250watt or 400watt PSU but that dosen't mean that its good. You need a good quality PSU in order to keep a system stably espically when OCing or\and running 3D games. Just because most pcs have AGP slots dosen't mean they ...
