Noobie here! wanting to learn....

I dont know much about a good computer hardware stuff for running games or in other words, video cards, ram, sound cards, and other stuff like that.

qeustions:

1) Is the higher the ram the better your gaming performance is?
2) What video card could handle all games but is not too high of price?
3) Is the more video cards you have in your mother board the better it is at gaming?
4) What is the most important hardware to run a game?
5) (none realated question) Is a ATI Radeon 9250 128mb any good?
^5) If not what would be good around its retail?[/i]

Answers:

1) Yes. i recomend 512 or more if you want to be a gamer

2) RADEON 9600 128MB Or nVidia GeForce FX 5600 Both Cards Run from 40 to 60$. They run with all the games todate With hi settings (But you Should at least Get the nVidia GeForce FX 5900XT 128mb ($115).

3) The max amount Of Video Cards you can have in MotherBoard Is two. (SLI & CrossFire MotherBoards) and it depends on what cards you have in them. but yes two is better than one (could someone explain this better?)

4) I wouldnt buy the ATI Radeon 9250 128mb. get a better card. (lol that card sux for Gaming) for that price get the GeForce4 MX 440 128MB

That does really help.... I thought I would answers by answer but you answered them all! thx!

ps: does that card you recommended play more games than the radeon???

i recomended 3 cards but they'll all play better than that Radeon 9250.

But really get this card if you have AGP:

also do you have AGP or PCI-e?
(or do you run your card through a PCI slot?

Whats your computer specs?

That card has problems on guild wars (which after building or buying a computer a computer I'm willing to buy). Radeon 9000 or higher is recommended. Is this because they programmed the game to work better for radeon because more people use it?

Oh yes and my computer is not with me right now... Im using my auntie's ME not my also crappy 2001 XP computer that can't even handle Halo PC...
