I am upgradin my sys. I have a Intel 845GL mobo.
My dealer has quoted a price of 2800 for a XFX5200 128MB graphics card. That fits my budget. But should I go for this card?

I have 128MB 266MHz DDR RAM on my sis. For a better gaming performance I want to add more RAM. If I add another 256MB 266MHz DDR RAM along with the 128, will all games work fine? Is there any compatibility or memory sharing problem with 2 RAM cards?

dont worry the RAM modules will work fine ... the price that ur dealer iss giving u for the xfx 5200 is also very good. go for this card if u want to play all latest games at low/medium settings. also wht price are u getting the 266 mhz ddr ram for ? dont buy it for more than 800-900 bucks . coz ddr 400 mhz ram (256 mb) is only for around 1200 bucks.

Ur rates r shocking!
I asked him the rate of 256MB RAM 400MHz he said 1575/-.

I think 266Mhz will be lower... but nothing to match 900.

It is Hynix brand. Can you please guide me, how can i get it at 900... I might go for 512MB RAM!!!

Newez wats better? 2X256 or one 512MB RAM???
