New Graphics Card or More Memory??? New Graphics Card or More Memory that is the question??? I have been contimplating which upgrade would be most beneficial to increasing my gameplay experience once Sims 2 comes out? I have looked into both getting a new video card or more memory. My computer is currently equiped with: Intel Celeron 2.7 GHz processor 256MB DDR SDRAM memory (with one extra slot open) 80GB hard drive Intel Extreme integrated graphics with up to 64MB shared video memory (as far as I can tell this integrated graphics card is T&L capable) My current decision is to get another stick of memory - a 512MB one for $64.99 at BestBuy since I believe that would be the cheapest and best upgrade instead of getting a different video card and trying to install it and make it work without complications from the integrated card. What do you think is the best decision? To just upgrade my memory for now and wait on getting a different video card when I really need it? This way the extra memory will help in all areas of the computer and not just in the graphic/video areas. Let me know if I am doing the right thing. The deal on memory sounds pretty good to me since the lowest I have ever seen a stick of 512MB was $59.00 and that is rare. ~Pimms~
Yes sounds good going to get it at BestBuy when they get more this week. And sorry for not posting this in Tech Centre I just noticed that area lol I won't make this mistake again. ~Pimms~
you can always buy memory from us at WorldSims. We have reps working over at GeiLUSA and OCZ Technology
yeah. go for the memory. cuz if your computer is OEM and it most likely is if it has intel graphics), you wont be able to upgrade it to anything decent anyhow unless ATI has made PCI 9800 radeon cards.
