Basicly, I bought the Sims 2 months ago along with rollercoaster tycoon 3. The Sims 2 will play but very very very very slow. Rollercoaster tycoon is the same.

I i need a new graphics card. I was wondering if anyone could tell me which is the best one to get. I want a good one but i dont have that much money.
Thanks alot

well there is the graphics card i have got! i got a nvidia geforce 5200. its got 128mb of its own memory. i have managed to play all the new games at medium-high graphic settings. the graphics i think are superb. it is BRAND NEW SEALED for only £30 which is a bargain. Do u live in the uk? Whereabouts? just general question. thanks, hope ur interested and this helps! (by the way its not actually mine, u can buy one of the net for the same price! ask me for further info if needed)
