Hello just scooped a Dell 2405FWP OMG!!!!!!! I love this monitor. Well it made me want to get into gaming. I like the game COD2. What card can I run with this computer (specs below) for say under 150?? Used is fine so if u have something cool I will take it

Gigabyte K8nf-9 MOBO (24) pin
AMD 64 3000+ Venice core
Kingston BH-5 Ram 2x512 matched
audigy2 ZS sound card
NEC 3550A DVD RW
X600XT Gold PCI-E x16 (can I upgrade this card???)

OC Core Speed 1981.6MHz
HTT 220.2MHz
Multi x9

RAM
Cas Lat 2
RAS to CAS 2
RAS Pre 2
Tras 11
TRC 11
DRAM Idle Timer 16
220.2MHz Dual Channel

Voltage steady @ 1.456v

Thanks for ur help let me know if u need anymore info
 
I'm gunna suggest a 6800GT, as you wont see a huge performance increase between that and a 7800GT because your Bottle neck is probably your CPU.

No. Your CPU and RAM will stop you from reaching that Card's full potential. :/

High Settings MAYBE

*edit* Didnt see your price constraint. No way you'll find something to max out a game at that price :/

K thanks just trying to learn what about gaming know nothing about it
 
Lol its cool man. I picked up a BFG 6800OC on here for $150. Shoot for that. I can run BF2 @ Med-High settings, and I'm only on socket A.
 
Is COD2 a more in depth game then BF2 like say for lack of words a harder game to run?

Also the x600xt anything i can do with it??

No. the 6800GT Is better.

Yes, for your price range ACID, get that I guess. Dont expect uber high settings on the game though.

You won't be able to max out COD2 on a Dell 2405 with an AGP card.

In fact you would at least need a $300 7800GT PCI-E, if not more.

Using PCI-E read above specs
 
For around $200...PCI-E 6800GS.......Is where it's at....

Thats about as low as you can go to run COD2 ANYTHING like you want it....It still wont be maxed out though :/

Expect Med Settings with that. Nothing more, really.

Nice card for the price though :)
