Hello
For the build so far, I have: E6700 2.66, 2 gb RAM 800mhz, and ATI X300.
Quite obviously, the bottleneck is the X300. I am getting a 8800gtx for a good price in June. Meanwhile, however, I need a mid-level card that could run Oblivion on mostly max settings, considering the CPU and RAM I have now. What would that card be? I do not want to spend over 200 dollars on it.
Another question regards buying a hard drive and setting up XP. I will get a new additional HD and want to install a fresh XP on that one, but I want to keep my older HD without reformatting. How would I do that?
The last question is: would running a DX9 game with a DX10 card on Vista be better looking than running it in XP?
Thanks
