Gigabyte ATI Radeon HD 2400 PRO 256Mb PCI-E Video Card

is this a good idea i mean i think i should upgrade anyway. Im not a hardcore pc gamer so i dont want anything like more than $100 and this card is perfect price. i was just wondering if this card is good for $50 AUD.

crap card....get hd2600 or nvidia 8600gt both under $100. i have the 8600gt and it smokes most games except crysis

but make sure you have the right slot (pci-express) and a good enough psu (atleast 400w but might be able to get away with 350)

Does it matter what manafacturer its made by as long as the engine is the same?

eg. Galaxy GEFORCE GF 8600GT 512

Not really, i've got a really cheap card atm, cost me like £40 I'll link it to you:

Not the prettyist of cards but does the job, runs AOE3 with ease.

The card you have linked is better, but I don't think it will make a huge difference, I will get a 9800 in like 2-3 months because 8600 now is pretty old :P
