graphics card?

 

[kyle2020]

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]

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

 

[FAUCE]

graphics card?

ATi Radeon X1650
+ pre build. do you know any good sites that i can order 1

 

[MadClown]

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

 

[FAUCE]

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]

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.

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/showproduct.php?prodid=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?area=app&AppId=440&cc=NO <- 19.99 usd (10 gbp)
http://steampowered.com/v/index.php?area=sub&SubId=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

 

[Wartz]

installed it with all the upgrades

graphics drivers too?

 

[FAUCE]

ok. i went to WillItRun.com. on TF2 it said that i would pass. BUT in the game it does not work.

bought in GAME store. 14.99 pounds. + its a CD. i perfure if it where on a disk than on my hard drive. but that site is good. BUT GAME wont refund PC games.
ME : yellow
GAME Store : Green


WillItRun.com said i had 110.1GB left in memory. i was shocked because i have LOTS of files, Programs that i don't use.

 

[FAUCE]

i meant updates to the game. but i am going to today Wartz. thanks for reminding me
