graphics card?

Aug 19, 2008, 01:56 PM

could be down to 1GB of ram in vista? just locking up due to too much work?

Hence why you dont buy pre-built

Ongaku · Aug 19, 2008, 03:54 PM

ouch yeah you need atleast 3GB to run Vista properly haha.

MadClown · Aug 20, 2008, 12:05 AM

the x1650 should rape tf2, i suggest getting more ram for that hungry copy of vista you have

FAUCE · Aug 20, 2008, 12:15 AM

when ever "TRY" to play the game it stops even before the menu. im was so angry. £24.99 for a game that wont work. i will see if i can get more ram. BUT im a beginner so how would you do it

Azazel · Aug 20, 2008, 12:54 AM

ram is the easiest thing to install into a computer. http://www.ehow.com/how_895_install-ram.html
here is a guide. just need to know what your mobo model is to see what ram is compatible with it.

FAUCE · Aug 20, 2008, 01:14 AM

thanks i will try the site now

TF2 Vista Memory info:
1GB = slow and laggy on vista
2GB is fast and decent on vista
4GB is ideal and will allow for full AA/AF, all on max on newer graphics cards like HD 4870 on Vista

who dont want 4GB?
DDR2 is so FREAKING cheap these days
buy a 4GBkit you can run 32-bit windows and leave the other 1GB in the closet ;P

@Azazel
graphics card are easy to upgrade to

but the cheapest atm is memory

http://overclockers.co.uk/showproduc...odid=MY-086-OC <- the kit i got and i run over 80+ fps on max settings in 1080p, with my graphics card

@FAUCE
where did you buy it?, was it in the orange box or seperate?
in shop or on steam?, in shop prices are overpriced
http://steampowered.com/v/index.php?...ppId=440&cc=NO <- 19.99 usd (10 gbp)
http://steampowered.com/v/index.php?...ubId=469&cc=NO <- 39.99 usd (21 gbp) (includes Half-Life 2+ EP1 + EP2, Portal, and Team Fortress 2)

btw:
dont be angry, valve is your friend
