performance and cash is the issue.... i and i dont overclock
thats just beggin for a BSOD and i know from experiance...
i tried going to 1600 on mem speed...pppppptttttt.... BSOD....
i trid just increasing cpu speed..pppppppttttt...BSOD......
even tried combo mem and cpu... PPPPPPttt ...bsod!!!!!!!
so i let my puter just coast at regular speeds...
This peaks my interest cos my video card resently gave me the BSOD (and the black screen with card shutdown).

I want a resonably affordable video card that will run the latest game software.

My Nvidia 9600 GT (that I paid mucho bucks for ) only runs COD:MW3 successfully at the normal or lowest graphics setting.

I'm kinda restricted on bucks but maybe I can swing $200.
