I found one 3D card: GEforce 8800, 640 mb for 2400
Should i get it or GEFORCE 7600, 512 mb is enough?

Is there anything better?



I have got other prob.
I have downloaded few movies but when i play them it says "Error downloadidng codec....." and there is only sound but no picture.
The file is AVI.
Do i need some special player or.....?

GEFORCE 7600 Series Graphics Card is Best......512MB Card Is Enough....It Will Support All The Games OR Applications....If U R Planning 2 Install Windows Vista Then U Must Upgrade UR RAM To 1GB.....Otherwise 512MB Ram Is Enough
