2.19 GHZ 960 MB of Ram
Physical address extension

i dont know what any of those mean, but will it be able to play Command and conquer without it freezing or having problems

thanks in advance

What kind of computer is it? Did you have a friend/local shop make it, or did you get it from Futureshop/Best Buy etc?

Do you know if it's PCI-Express or AGP?

What is your budget?

I'm guessing 2.2 gig cpu is probably on a board with AGP. probably 5 + years old now.

More like 3-4 years, I got an Athlon 64 3200+ with an Nvidia 7950 bought in 2006.


Anyway, C&C RA3 sucks balls... no difference from RA2, which was also crap. It shouldn't require the latest cards.

uhh with AGP there are no new video cards.. sorry everything is in pci-e now

its a compaq presario sr1750 nx, i got it i think 2-3 years ago at best buy.
budget i dont know i just want to get something that i can use to play it without the game freezing.

thanks

Xpress200 integrated chipset, which has PCI-E.

Either http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=33527&vpn=EN8800GS%2FHTDP%2F384M&man ufacture=ASUS&promoid=1088 or http://www.ncix.com/products/index.p...E&promoid=1088 ought to work, but you may need a new power supply to power the new videocard, as I don't know what your current one is. The first one is not very high performance, but good value.

Also, add more memory. http://www.ncix.com/products/index.p...o&promoid=1088

You might want to think about upgrading your computer. http://www.ncix.com/products/index.p...6&promoid=1088 This is a very good deal, and it's all assembled. Just add OS and video card and you're set.
