I suggest saving up your money and getting a PCI-E board and a 6000 series card if you're on a budget. But if you're patient, save up and wait for the 8000 series coming out this November.

The problem is, I looked at buying an ASUS P5GV-MX mobo, which seemed perfect for me with 4 ram slots and a PCI-e x16. But i heard that it has very limited compatibility with PCI-e x16 cards (theres a list of supported cards in the manual). Searching google to see if this really was the case didn't reassure me. Only one person on Newegg said it works with some geforce cards, and i'm not taking that risk.

I was able to run Battlefield 2 on low graphics really well. It sucked having to look at blurry textures though, which really made the game less fun.

I can live with that, I knew I'd have to put it way down anyway. Back when I had WinME, 8mb onboard GPU, 191mb RAM and AOL dial-up, i played ren with all settings low and i enjoyed it.

I'm not a dedicated gamer- I intend to play Renegade and HL2 on it (being the only decent PC games I have), i'll try the BF2 demo on it, see how it goes if i decide to get this. Another reason if with the dual screen etc, and it also has an s-video output- i suppose that means playing Ren on a TV Big Grin

Anyway I appreciate your feedback, although what FPS do you guys get on it when playing Ren (I plan to put 2GB of PC3200 DDR in along with this)?
