Hi team

I am building a new PC and am looking for some helpful advice on which graphics card I should look at purchasing. I am restricted due to financial reasons (wife ) so am looking at possibly the 256 MB GeForce 6600 or the 256 MB GeForce 7300 GS cards (only about $40 NZD difference between the two).

The system will be a P4 3.2 gHz with 1 Gb Ram and 120MB HD.

Any useful advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

-- make that a 120 GB HD - its been one of those days!

if you can get a 6600GT, it will beat both of those choices hands down, even if it's a 128MB 6600GT. More memory on a slower card does not make it better thatn a faster card with less RAM. Not sure of their availability still, but it's worth looking into.

Good luck with the 120MB hard drive. Let me know how DOS runs. (j/k)

your system specs are good enough. just the card being the bottleneck. im not sure of the costs, but my friend recently got a 7600 GS and it worked very nicely and was pretty cheap. (i mean for guildwars, other games im nt sure).

most prolly its only slightly more expensive.
