Hey guys, I'm currently looking into buying a new computer for myself, and I have narrowed it down to a few different ones, but I had a question about the video cards in a couple of them.
Just so you know, I am about to graduate from high school, and will be getting a job in about a month or two, so at this point, I don't have huge amounts of cash lying around or anything, but that's okay.
So, like every teenage guy, I play video games (lol). I need a video card that will be able to manage graphics-intense games, and because of this, the computers that I am looking at buying all have 1GB of ram. But, I don't quite know what I should do about a video card. Two of the computers have ATI video cards (Radeon Xpress 200, and X600) and I was wondering if these cards are high enough quality to play graphics intense games on?
If they aren't, it wouldn't be the end of the world if I went ahead and bought a better card (like the X1800 or something), but like I said earlier, cash is an issue.
So once again, I was wondering if the cards already installed in these computers would be good enough, or if I'd need to buy a better card?
(BTW: Two of the games I play are Age of Empires 3, and
Planetside, which are both pretty intense)
Thanks for taking the time to read this!
