Radeon X200, 128MB, still isn't a bad card. I run an X200 on my laptop, and it runs many games just fine. It truly all depends on settings and application. Now my home system has been with a G-Force 6800 GTX for almost 2 years now, and still runs all FPS's and all Tactical Combat games I play, Including F.E.A.R., the expansion for F.E.A.R., Doom3, etc... I have even tested a version of a video sequence of Halo 3's downloadable files, and it did just fine. A little choppy in spaces, but that was at full capacity, and a little tweaked. So, I personally believe that you have a decent vid card there. My suggestion, as I am sure others will say, would be, if you are a gamer, then it's time to upgrade. If you are only interested in ATI cards, then Crossfire is your ultimate goal. Nvidia? SLI baby! On the other hand, if you are just looking to play your computer like anyone else, a decent graphics card like a 6800 ultra is just fine. It will do anything I ask of it. I have put a few links at the bottom here, for both ATI and Nvidia, just so you can get an idea of your card, price, and performance between all of them, and to have the resources at your fingertips. Good luck, and I hope that I might have, without boring you with mindless talk, given you some insight on what you really might want or need for the applications you plan on putting to the test. I do have an extensive knowledge of hardware, so if you have any other questions, or need more detailed answers, don't hesitate to contact me! I would be more than happy to answer them.Thanks!
