Hi guys....I have a question whether it is worth upgrading my current video card or not. Here is my current system specs:
P4c 2.6GHz
DFI LanParty 875P
1GB RAM
Radeon 9500Pro
The games that I would be playing (may buy 1 more, but currently have more than enough to tide me over) are:
MVP 2005
Madden 2006
Neverwinter Nights + Expansions
Jedi Academy
Knights of the Old Republic 1 & 2
Maybe Vampire: Bloodlines.
Is it worth it to upgrade my current card for these, or should I just pocket the money (the money would not be saved for this computer upgrade...it would go to either a laptop savings or furniture savings)? If upgrade, what AGP video card for <$150, preferrably <$130?
I have kind of narrowed it down to a GeForce 6600 (256MB), 6600GT(128MB), 6800XT(128MB), Radeon X700(128MB), X1600Pro(256MB). Those all seem to be under $150 according to NewEgg.
