I want to buy this graphics card, but im a noob at this stuff and i'm having some questions.

1. Will this card fit in my Pci-E slot?
2. Is it a good card?
3. Anything else I might need with it?
4. How do you make links?
I'd really appreciate your guys help.

Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

What is the card?

I'd click if there was a link.

It should be fine. It'll work with a PCIe slot.

Oh, [url= put the url here] link [/url ]

Just remove the spaces from there.

Most of the PC issues posted here are the result of PEBKAC.

It's not bad, but could you find anything smaller? That thing is huge, and it's not even that powerful.

Hold on. What are you expecting from the card?

My recommendation is This.

For just a little more money, you can get so much more. It even comes with a rebate. It's what I have, and I love it. The only problem with this is that if you want anymore power it will require more power. You most likely will need a new power supply in this case. Now I won't go into too much more detail, in case you aren't interested.

The card you picked is a good card, but it won't give you top notch graphics and FPS. If you are a newb, you may want just the 1650xpro, because you just have to swap out cards. If you want more power, you have to buy more stuff and install more stuff. If you want a simple somewhat weaker card, go ahead and get that. It should run Halo 2 Vista alright. I can't be sure though, so don't take my word on the previous sentence.

I would get that, but i don't have the money. the core clock and memory clock's are almost the same on both cards. The only difference is that it's a 256bit.
Thanks anyways XworstpirateevaX, but I can't afford that now. I'll stick with my pro xD.

i'm not interested in h2v. The card is way better than my old radeon xpress 200 series. I can't even get over 640x480 resolution without low frame rate.
I never wanted to run at high resolutions or anything, just anything playable.

Thanks guys for all of your help!
