This is regarding my friend's computer. This is his rig.
Gateway GT5040 Specs - DealTime
He has had it a couple years and day to day it works like a charm. Just today we tried to run Battlefield 2 on it and after looking the specs over found it actually has no graphics card.
I was thinking we should upgrade the RAM to these
Newegg.com - Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Desktop Memory
and then also upgrade the video card.
This computer is not going to be a dedicated gamer like the one I built, but we would like to at least bet BF2 going and room for some others. Any good basic video cards that won't break the bank that you guys can reccommend?
Thanks much in advance!
