ok i have a GeForce4 MX 440 with AGP8X, this isn't enogh to let me play the PC game Call of Duty Modern Warfare (1). I checked the site Can You Run It? and it says the minimum i need is a NVIDIA GeForce 6600+ (im gonna go with Nvidia cuz i have that now so....)
I actually have 2 questions
1. Do i need to have to update all other hardware to accommodate my soon to be new video card?
(bear in mind i have a 1 gb RAM and a 2.8 gHz performance computer)
2. How would i go about installing it? Do i need some sort of special card so it fits inside my computer without anything happening?
UPDATE:
CPU:Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz
CPU speed: 2.80 GHz Performance Rated at: 2.8 GHz
RAM: 1023.3 MB (1gb)
OS: Microsoft Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3 (build 2600)
Video Card: GeForce4 MX 440 with AGP8X
DirectX version: 9.0c
Sound card: Realtek AC'97 Audio
DVD-Rom: XWL TI3WDUZK52 SCSI CdRom Device
Motherboard...... IDK where to find that so...... but I can play Halo and Age of Empires 3 (barely)
(no idea if that helps but it tells you i have like old xbox type graphics)
Yes, my computer is ANCIENT (i also want to play Battlefield Heroes, and all i gotta do is get better graphics card, with a couple more stuff here and there)|||Okay...invest in a new computer. You can install a new video card all you want but with 1GB of RAM you will not get what you want. Go get an Asus...its for gaming and you'll be happier with it. You'll spend the same updating your old pc so just buy a new one. Intel is good for gaming and Pentium 4 is good but 3 GHz and 1 GB of RAM....uh no...the only other thing is you'll have Windows 7 which sucks for gaming. I like XP....if you want to custom build your own start at Ebay....but like I've said research an Asus.|||If you don't have a PCI-E slot, you may really need to get a new computer. A decent one with 2gb of RAM, and an NVIDIA 9500 might run up to $500.|||I'm sorry but we need to know at least what expansion slots your computer has, and also what power supply you are running.
I am impressed that your computer has lasted 8ish years though. :)|||It's not worth pouring money into that garbage
get a new computer|||First of all, get a better CPU if you want to competitively game. Although the CPU is secondary to the video card in terms of game performance, you need a better one than the Pentium 4 for playing call of duty. I suggest one of Intel's i5s, core 2 duos, or one of AMD's Phenom X2s. Secondly, 1 GB of RAM will have the same effect as a slow CPU on a game: not as bad as a slow graphics card, but noticeable. I would try for at least 3 GB or RAM, but 2 GB might work. RAM is one of the easiest upgrades to make, but CPU changing is difficult for a non-computer-nut, so you might consider buying a completely new system. And as for changing the graphics card, it's relatively simple, AMD even has a video about it at this URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9x097QRX… . You don't even need to spend much money on a new system, if you choose to do so. Just get a decent processor. If you don;t know what that is, check out intel.com's processor ratings. Go to "choose the right processor" and the link will be on your right. If you don't know how to upgrade RAM, a quick web search will turn up videos, web pages and a whole treasure trove of information on the subject. Also, with this new system, ( if you get one ), you can get a low-budget pc with a bad graphics card ( just make sure it has one and that it's not integrated graphics ) and upgrade the graphics card from there. The total cost of the new system could be only maybe $500 or less, very cheap for a gaming pc. If you feel completely lost with all this info, ask a techie friend or, if you want to spend more money, a computer professional. Also, with the new graphics card, make sure that you download the latest drivers from nvidia's site ( just look for support and drivers and find your model ) and make sure that you get at least DirectX 10 installed.|||POWERCOLOR AG3650 512MD2-V3 Radeon HD 3650 512MB 64-bit DDR2 AGP 8X
