Well I survived WoW and FFXI ran well but it seems GW is overheating my system. I believe its my vid card because it said after reboot once that was the problem and its (I think) lower than requirements.

I have: - according to dxdiag
510 RAM DDR Dimm,n
DirectX 9.0c
Radeon 7000 64MB
Intel Pent 4 1.80GHz

i think thats all someone needs to give me a good recommendation.

Well i need a new vid card and possibly another RAM stick.

But can sum1 give a few suggestions for the card for hopefully under 200$. at least under 300$.

the 6600GT has been rated at the top of the bang for buck heap for some time now.

about 200 dollars and good for tomorrows games as well

my 3dmark 2005 benchmark went from 407 up to 2746
from my old 5600 Ultra

just make sure it is the GT model and not the regular 6600
