ok i used search button but didn't realy get the answer i'm looking for so here goes...

i am running on an intel integrated 845 as well all know they do not run GW very well
i've been playing like this since release but am getting quite sick of the out of mem errors....

i only have pci slots open on my mother board and need to find a video card that wil fit, is not 500 bucks, and will stop the memory crashes...
i can live without the boss glow, or pretty reflections and all that.. i just want to stop crashing

any suggestions??

thanks in advance

go to this site and use their product search using pci NOT PCI-E(EXPRESS)

you can get up to i think an nvidia 5600 / 5700 pci which will cost less than an arm/leg and give boss glow as well

EDIT

maybe somrthing like this at less than 100

example of a decent card that will most likely enable you to run guildwars more than fine. don't worry about blowing 500 bucks on a pci card, you'll have a lot of trouble finding one that tops 100 bucks :P

what happened to your AGP slot btw ? an AGP card is better ...

My guess is that he has a Dell 2XXX or 3XXX series computer.

majikalfae, In the future always put your hardware specs in your post. Make,Model,etc. The we can fine tune an answer easier. If that is the case that you do not have a AGP port/slot then yes a true PCI video card would help your graphics. Night & Day.
