Which video card do i need??

ok here is my system specs

2.6 gigherts cpu
768 meg of ram
and the horrid 82845g grapics

ok my computer only has pci slot and im wanting a vid card that will run this game good anyone out there know which pci card will work best my price range is 70 to 150
thanks

No AGP?

Ouch... idk.

My best bet would be Radeon 7000.

i found a gefore fx 5200 for 99 is that good enough and if so how much quality will i have to sacrifice?

Not a ton, you wont' get all reflections+hi res mode, but you can play a decent game on that card. Your system ram will help support you. I have that card in the rig I built for my GF and it runs HL2 pretty darn well, (it's OC'd a tiny bit ). Oh and try to get one with an active cooler (instead of just a heatsink).

EDIT: I'm very sorry I did not read the whole post. PCI only? I'm really not sure what kind of quality you are gonna get. Are you sure? you have a board that supports a 2.6 Pentium and has 768 system mem, with no AGP...that's odd.

yea i looked in the computer only white slots no brown so i guess i cant play ?

I have a PCI slot, and i recently upgraded to this for 100.00
GFX 5700

how dose GW run on that one??

I'm sure Guild Wars will run really well on a Geforce FX 5700 even if it is PCI. I suggest you buy it, you will get a good experience out of that.

ok thanks that will be my card of choice thanks alot

Yep I actually run it on the overclocked version of that card (FX5700 ultra). I'm running it at 1280x1024 all details and it slows down only rarely. You'll have fun.
