Hi guys,
Recently one of my favourite games had an update (graphics) and my computer can't run it anymore. I really don't want to buy another computer (my parents won't let me anyways). I decided a few minor upgrades might be able to run the game.
My Computer Specifications
Processor: Intel Pentium 4, 2800 MHz (14 x 200)
Motherboard: Dell Dimension 1100/B110
Video card: Intel(R) 82865G Graphics Controller (96 MB) (Onboard)
Memory: 2x (256mb)
PSU: Unknown company 350W
Upgrades that I think might work
Video card: SPARKLE SP95GT1024D2LHP GeForce 9500 GT 1GB 128-bit DDR2 PCI HDCP Ready Low Profile Ready Video Card (no PCI-E slot on motheboard, only PCI)
Memory: (2x) PQI POWER Series 1GB 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 333 (PC 2700) Desktop Memory Model MD341GUOE
PSU: Sunbeam PSU-BKS-480-US 480W ATX12V Power Supply - OEM
Total: $207
Limit: $200 (but i can pay $7 more )
Questions
1) Will these upgrades be compatible?
2) Will these upgrades be able to run these games: ijji - Where Gamers Unite!
3) Will these upgrades by able to run windows vista? or maybe windows 7? (heres to hoping)
Oh, btw, location: Canada
Thanks Guys
