Hey guys, sorry to make a new thread to ask a pretty simple question. I have built my own computer before, but it was quite a few years ago now and i'm still pretty much a noob when it comes to it.
My brother's computer has a 8500GTS which is pretty rubbish, he can't even play Fallout 3 without lag, so he's asked me to find him a new card that will run the game well. However i can't even remember what i need to look out for to make sure the new graphics card is compatible with his motherboard.
I was thinking of getting him a 8800GT (or is there better cards for the money now?) what things do i need to check to make sure everything will work together fine. Thanks!
