Which reminds me, I may have to talk to you or Reimroc and possibly have one of you come down to help upgrade my new PC. Everything about it is good but the videocard is onboard with the motherboard and mass effect is choppy. I may need a newer card.. It is the nvidia geforce 6150 se. I want something a little newer but may néed a new power supply more than 250w. that's about my limited hardware knowledge; it is possible to keep the sane mobo, but disable the onboard card and use a different one, right? haha...Steambook...I have 2 friends on it and they're both in my band. I play on regular servers but I don't get intimate, I just shoot em with rockets. Onboard video eats up memory bandwidth that should strictly go from RAM to CPU. Onboard video memory hops on to the same bus and it effectively cuts your computer's performance in half. Definitely need a dedicated video card to cut out the need to use system RAM. But once you get a new video card you're going to need a higher output power supply. This is the bad thing about PC gaming. And yeah, as long as your motherboard has a PCI xpress x16 slot, you're all set. All video cards need their own dedicated power rail from the power supply now. The geforce 6150 is ancient now, I got a 9800GT and that's 2 years old now. They're up to x280's or something? You can get a good one out of the new series for under $100 and your PC's performance will multiply a trillion times.
