My computer's a gateway 700X P4 2Ghz with 256MB of RDRAM. My video card is a GeForce2 MX400. I bought it in January 2002.
I think it's worth keeping this computer for another couple of years if I can, as it works just fine for surfing the internet and word processing (its main use). I play some computer games though, and find that I usually have to set the video settings to low in order to get smooth flowing gameplay (like 800x600 and low texture and shadow settings). I'd really like to be able to up the resolution to at least 1068x768 if not higher and keep all the detail settings at high. Would replacing my video card help? Or should I focus on getting more memory first? I'd like to spend no more than $200 if possible.
Thanks.
