here's a good one:

HIS X1800GTO Turbo

Its a bit pricy. RM 800 BUT...!!!!!

its technically a X1800XL card!!!!

its 12 pipelines can be unlocked to 16 pipelines.. can easily tapau nVidia card of within its price range.. plus it has a darn chun looking heatsink.

in short, you're getting a card whcih should be worth 1k+ at RM 800

haha ic.anyway dude can u tell me what is yr exact budget?if u reli wanna upgrade VC,better upgrade the whole CPU thing.

Forgot about this thread la. haha anyway, most of the time, when I upgrade, I would usually upgrade the mobo, display card, processor. these are the 3 main items. Well, will wait and see cos not playing games thus far. will probably put in another 512MB RAM to bring my total ram to 1gb first.

My budget is usually around 1k for all but I think for a good display card, I think I may need to revise my budget la. hehehe Haih... some more... car have so many things that needs repairing.

I also heard that dust can cause funny problems with anything that's in the CPU casing. What I do is this. I do basic service of my car near my home. When I go there to do basic service (oil change and such), I unplug everything from my CPU and I open the casing on one side. Then I bring it to the workshop. While they're servicing my car, I use their high pressure air blower to blow away all the dust. It does a seriously good job! hahaha I also use that to blow my keyboard. hehehe

[munky]

Here's a suggestion that doesn't answer your question hehehe

Get a video game console. :shades_smile:

 

[KeV-TEC]

woot... nice answer...
but ps2 cannot play on9... too bad...
haih...

 

[skylin3lov3r]

console sux.nothing beats the most powerful graphics on PC.buying console is just like buying a crap potong car unriced while buying the most high end card is just like buying a GTR fully tuned.so if i were 2 choose one,i 4 sure take option 2.

 

[razr_sped]

ya...buying a high end card is like owning a GTR
but how many of us could afford...
console player hav its good like when u needed a game n it doesnt need to install...
my bro play NFSMW without lagging...but mine lag like hell when upon blacklist 6 or 7

p.s.
i would like to hav a quad party mobo with all its pci-e stuck wif the geforce x2
(i think is 7950 series)
tats 8 GPU in total...tok bout power...keke

 

[skylin3lov3r]

haha yeah rite.start working n sell off yr half cut JDM sure can get one powerful rig dy.hahaha.

PS2 can play online la. Just buy the network adapter. And xbox360 can play online too. There's alot of malaysian playing online.

You can say console sux or whatever. But I'd rather play GT4 with stunning graphics it looks so real. And of course, without any lag.

Seriously i have a PC at home with a pentium D 3ghz with a very good graphic cards (if im not mistaken it's 256mb, coz the price is around RM400+) and when i play Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter, it still lag. Not to mention Halo. That's even worse

And one more thing, no matter how beautiful the graphic is, if the game is CRAP, it's still gonna be CRAP. For example Fifa series. Winning eleven is way better than that.

 

[KeV-TEC]

hhahaa... of cuz game itself play an important role...
what i mean on9 is like maple, ragnarok, dota... all this on9 game wor...
ps2 mana ada

 

[razr_sped]

aiya...os2 sure lose if compare to pc RTS & MMORPG games...
keke...cos its virtually not existance mah...
its cater to dif categories...

ps2 renders it much more better den most pc

 

[KeV-TEC]

ps2... u buy d game.. u put in d game.. U PLAY IT!!!
muahahhaa
if only ps2 like com got mouse... aim enemy also easier!!!
but cannot...

 

[munky]

Agree with razr_speed

Games like that are better played on PC, coz you need mouse and keyboard to navigate the map/move around, etc.
