I just bought myself a Sony Vaio VGC-RB43. In addition, since I am a video game freak I bought BAttlefield2(heard it was good). When I loaded it on my computer it would not play becasue my currend display driver is 64 and I think the game needs 128. Here are my questions

1)my specs say I have one 16x pci express expansion slot
2) Where can I buy a cheap card to fit the need of the game..I have seen prices over $200.00.

3) I jumped on ebay and saw a Ennyah pcx5300..will that work? not sure if it is pci express and the only thing the game is marketing is NVIDIA

anyones help is greatly appreciated.
 
I haven't heard of that manufac before, it is probably a "pci" (not pci-e) card and therefore not very good.

Get a "6600GT". They are about $160 on www.Newegg.com (very reputable).
 
Grab a cheap 6600GT PCIe or get a slight more (talking $20ish) and decently faster X800. Its up to you.

The reason your computer couldnt play BF2 was because it only had intergrated graphics and BF2 probably screamed for its life when it say that and was like "helllll no, I'm not playing on this". So yeah, grab one of the two cards above, you'll be happy.
 
Anyone clueless enough to report their own thread to ask if we think they made a good choice needs to learn how to use teh intarweb before they're allowed a membership here.
