I'd like to purchase a newer, more capable video card (current one only goes up to SM 2.0). How far can I go before my CPU begins to limit the performance?
System: Pentium M 780 CPU (Dothan, 2.26GHz, 2MB cache) 2GB of RAM ATI Radeon X800XT 256MB i915 PCI-E chipset Win XP Professional

Not enough info.
What "standard" video card? AGP, PCI-e?
For AGP you would be looking at a 79XX from nvidia.
For PCI-e you would be looking at any 8XXX series.
Sorry, I dont do ATi.

I mentioned in the first post that it has a i915 PCI-E chipset. It will take any PCI-E video card.
So will the 8800GT that was mentioned here ( http://computing.net/gaming/wwwboar... ) run to its full potential and not be limited by my single core CPU?
Thanks.
