Hey guys, this is my first post to this section on after dawn. As much as I hate to sound stupid, I'm afraid when it comes to PC hardware, I'm just that.
I realize these questions may be trivial to you guys, but I want you to know I really appreciate the help. I hate stupid sales associates that have no idea what they are talking about, and will tell you whatever you want to hear, if they can even come up with an answer.
Anyway here goes. I work nights, so when I'm off, there isnt much to do so I was thinking about buying a game or two to occupy my time. One game was Guild Wars (feel free to respond with comments about that too if u wish) However, my video card (i hope thats what you call it) doesnt seem to meet the specifications required.
I'm really not in the market for a new computer yet, so I was hoping I could just replace the card and go another year or so before purchasing a new system. However, this is difficult to do when you know nothing about how video cards work, or what your motherboard will accept.
Here is what the game requires:
Minimum System Specs:
ATI Radeon 8500 or GeForce 3 or 4 MX Series Video Card with 32MB of VRAM
Recommended System Specs:
ATI Radeon 9000 or GeForce 4 Ti Series Video Card with 64MB of VRAM
With that said,..my computer is a Sony Vaio Model: PCV-RX671. Its a P4 2.0, but thats all I know about it. If you guys could tell me what card would work with my board, and the game, I would really appreciate it. If anyone finds that this computer was built with a card that should work, I would like to know that as well, but I dont think thats the case. I dont need anything really fancy, as obviously the card that it came with has been working fine for my needs till now, and will most likely only be used for this game and then a new computer purchased in a year or less.
Again, Thank you very much
