ur amd 3000+ is pretty weak as it is. new games would run better on a new cpu .deadmeat59
well I know that but to my question....
[QUOTE="wklzip"]If your mobo has a pci-e slot it will work.

pci-e x16. However you will be considerably bottlenecking your card if you don't upgrade your cpu eventually.
What this means is that your CPU probably isn't powerful enough to keep the GPU busy with stuff to render. Therefore, you won't get the framerates that the GPU is capable of producing.

I know what it means but idh the money to get a brand new computor so really
As long as you have a PCI-E x16 slot and a good enough PSU,you should run a 9600GT no problem,though honestly,i'd wait and save up for a better PC,Sempron CPU's are absolute garbage for gaming,if you have AM2,you can get a X2 4000+ for cheap and is a good deal better than Sempron.Indestructible2garbage for gaming? will it run the latest games..yes.. so how is-it garbage for gaming...

LOL!!!!!!!!!!! I had an AMD Athlon XP 2600+ an X1600Pro and 1gb of ram and i ran Oblivion almost max with playible frames (20-30) you have no idea dude

I'm calling you out on that one. BS. Even a 7900gtx couldnt max out oblivion.
nearly max with no shadows at 1024x768 Grass was also of. (man that grass was usless anyway)

really? i don't think the word maxed out should be used at lower resolutions, i could say that i max out crysis that way.As long as you have a PCI-E x16 slot and a good enough PSU,you should run a 9600GT no problem,though honestly,i'd wait and save up for a better PC,Sempron CPU's are absolute garbage for gaming,if you have AM2,you can get a X2 4000+ for cheap and is a good deal better than Sempron.Indestructible2
actually at the time they weren't bad for their price. Some of the later 90nm ones overclocked like hell and kept up with its 64 bit brothers.
course now it's a bit weak, but it will work just fine. All depends on how picky you are with game settings. I mean hell I had a p3 and ran Far cry back when that came out, got 30fps to.

really? i don't think the word maxed out should be used at lower resolutions, i could say that i max out crysis that way.thats why i said nearly max. and i allways use a res of 1024x768 even on older games because they still look good.
yeah theres no doubt its not going to run the newer games or RTS games well at all, but saying it garbage for games is is being unfair as it will run most games alrite considering its age e.g. games like FEAR saying its garbage gives the impression its not gong to run any of his games on his library.yoyo462001Alright,i guess i should have rephrased it,i meant garbage for NEWER games,fair enough? :P :)

I can run COD4 on pretty much max with my
sempron 3000+
ATI x1650
1.5gigs of ram
I have it at low res thoe and shadows and soften smoke edges are off

The need for AA is less apparent on CRT than to LCD. This is due to the CRT displaying an image with a matrix of blurry phosphor pockets. An LCD on the other hand has hard-edged pixels. Jaggies are far more visible on an LCD monitor.

the 'response time' as you put it is whatever you set it to. Refresh rate in your display properties of windows. Higher is better, but you can go too high.
you'll never see ghosting on a CRT monitor.
