Hi frnds, I hv a pc with the following config: Processor: Intel Pentium Dual Core 2.2 GHz RAM: 1Gb OS: Windows XP SP 2 Professional Edition I'm looking to buy an NVIDIA GeForce 9500GT 1 Gb GDDR3 graphics card. Can I run games like COD 4, NFS Carbon, FarCry, Black Hawk Down Or Shadow Ops: Red Mercury with the above config of pc and graphics card?

Hi there, You're current configuration easily meets the recommended requirements for all those games except COD 4 for which you meet the minimum requirements (only because they recommend having a 2.4 GHz dual core or better, but your graphics card definitely exceeds the requirements). You can definitely run all those games, just for COD 4 you may not be able to set it to the highest settings (but you can try). Here are the system requirements for all those games if you're interested: COD 4 : http://blogulate.com/content/call-o...

To cay_skimmer, Thank's for the reply... i'll try my luck upon COD 4. Hope i shall be able to run it under lower settings...Also thanks for the links. :)

Get a better card than the 9500GT...it's not very good. And don't get suckered in by 1GB. Invest in more system RAM & read the following article before buying a video card: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews...

Dude buy another Gig of RAM it's really cheap and itll be well worth ur money

yeah i'll be buyin another gb of RAM...Thanks for the suggestion(to maddogpc)... and jam thanks for your suggestions too...how woul'd be Nvidia geforce9800gtx?? Anybody pls tell me : nvidia geforce cards or ati radeon? Which woul'd be better??

Depends on what price range you're looking at. The link that jam gave you in response #3 gives the best card for a given price. Here is a link that shows how different video cards compare to each other (they use 3DMark06 for the tests): http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/...
