Graphics card

Ok, I'm going to get PES as soon as I can, but judging from the way the demo ran on my machine, I'll need a new card.

I have a limited budget

Here are my specs:

Windows 2000 professional
AMMD Duron Processer, 1.1 Ghz
256mb RAM

What do I need to get

ati 9550 or geforce4 ti4200-4600
you can play under median quality.

no need to go any higher because the other parts of your system is not strong enough...

go for a 6600 GT

6600gt is £190 tho, get a geforce 5700 or summit, nice n cheap

If I were you, i'd be looking at investing in a new CPU, as well as a new graphics card.

As for recomendations, a Radeon 9800 PRO is a superb card, and fairly cheap too, compared to the 6600.

I had the same thing, I'm looking at buying the ATI Sapphire Radeon 9550se should be able to pick one up for little over £30

Im running the game with a 32mb card and is smooth as hell, (window mode( only if i put fullscreen i got slowdown tough.

se is not worth the money

with 9550se, you can only go low if your cpu is not extremely strong

How much would that cost?

Well, if your looking for up-to-date processors, the lowest AMD 64 model is around 80 quid, HOWEVER, if you want to go 64-bit, you'll also have to buy a new motherboard, which will set you back a further 50-100 quid for a decent one.

But, you can always stick with 'normal' CPUs (you probably wont need a new motherboard) and buy an Athlon 3200+, which will cost around £130, but you wont need to buy a new motherboard. ALTHOUGH, the 3200+ is a pretty damn powerful CPU, so you might want to go lower than that, and look at an Athlon XP 2800+ Barton which cost around £75, and are by no means crap.

Or, if you want to go even lower and cheaper, then an Athlon XP 2600/2400 which will cost around 60/50 quid, but are by no means crap. More like a short-term solution.

Maybe I'll just wait until I get a new computer

thanks, you've been very helpful

Ya, seriously Twin you need a new computer, would work out dearer getting this and that and then something else causing game to run slow, my god that comp def a few years old eh....

Yeah you need a new comp...

I as either gonna go for the ATI 9550se cause I've read allot of good reviews about it (Might have been the normal 9550)

I've also looked at the GeForce 4 MX 440 128mb

Go and buy a Quadro FX 1300 PCI Express 128 MB DDR2 256 bit ... it's a solution ...
