A good one.


dont think that was very helpful...

well id say that getting a 6600GT wouldnt be a bad buy, its kinda low end but when direct X 10 compatable video cards come out it would be in your best interest to upgrade your video card then anyways.

you can get a 6600GT for round 100$ on www.newegg.com just make sure that you know if your motherboard is AGP or PCI express before you buy your card

I wouldn't describe the 6600GT as "low end". Having just purchsed one and done the research on it I found it to be a good midrange card. When looking for a GFX card just avoid the light/cut down versions. Direct X 10 compatable cards will emerge but its likely that it will take sometime for games to take advantage of them.

I purchased a 6600GT as I was on a slight budget. It's a card with a good price performance ratio that will play alot of current games well.

Pritty much any modern card will work fine for the game. As long as it is Direct X 9.0c Compatable. Which by the way is what you will need to run Vista. Anyway. I got my wife a $79 AGP Radeon with 128megs, and the game runs great on it. I also have a GeForce 6800 with 256 and I can run full screen 1920x1200 4x AA and still get great frame rates. So its pritty much up to you as to how much you want to spend.
