im faily new at all this and would like to have some suggestions.
well i have a brand new comp that i would like to make a gaming comp. i will be upgrading the ram to about 1.5g's. i have a AMD 64 3200+ proccessor. and im gonna be adding a video card in my PCI-E slot. my question is in my computer manual it said if i buy a grafic card they highly reccomend ATI. now what if i wanted a differenct brand? am i allowed to mix and match? i know your not supposed to for RAM but does it matter for a video card? also i was looking at the Sapphire Radeon x700 card, what you think? good? bad? if so please recommend a good card. My price range is about $150 down.
thanks
