Unfortunately, my friend is stuck with one of those $400 dells thats about a year old. It has no graphics card, 256mb ram, and only PCI slots (NOT PCI express). Well considering the limited options for his computer, and the fact that he's NOT going to buy a new computer, how well would these upgrades be?
BFG Tech Geforce 6200 OC
BFG - GeForce 6200 OC Graphics Card - BFGR62256OCP
1GB Corsair Value Select
Newegg.com - CORSAIR ValueSelect 1GB 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) Desktop Memory - Retail
That would bring his total RAM to 1280mb.
He has a normal 17 inch 4:3 LCD display with max resolution of 1280x1024.
How well would this computer be able to play games like Half Life 2 and CS: Source, and at what settings and resolution?
If there's a better PCI card, please tell me.
