Hello.
I currently have a nVIDIA GeForce 7300GS graphics card. Ive waited so long for medal of honor airborne to be released... and my graphics card isn't supported :\
What could i upgrade to? It is recommended to have NVIDIA GeForce 6600 GT but would this install into my computer?
I don't think the graphics card is integrated on mother board, but heres my spec...

There are plenty of better cards than that one, but for the price, you can't beat it.
