I am sorry but that card Stinks for 102 it should be like 60-80 for the proformance you get out of it!

For about 30 more dollars you can get a x1600Pro 512mb
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102015

Nvidia 7600GS 256mb 128bit 12 pixlepipelines 400/800mhz
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130011

Or for a little more a x850XT
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102688


Those 3 cards for about 40$ (USD) more will give you double the proformance.

I wouldn't waiste the money for an upgrade that is not even capable of running todays games. Haven't you ever herd of newegg.com? The price for that card is way high. Radeon X1600PRO 512mb for $128.00 + rebate = $108. ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102015 ). But i'd really get a x850xt for $169.99 ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102505 )

think every one is saying the card you pick is out dated thats all, can't run all type of games on it is all.

as Scott said: But i'd really get a x850xt for $169.99

get a better card is all, one that be do you right don't waste your money on a card in the end will not run all the newer games on.

We cant stop you from geting that card it is just that card isn't the best or the worst we are saying that there are other better cards for about 20-40$ more that will give you 2-3 times teh proformance!
