Graphics card

Postby JakesF14 » Fri Mar 26, 2010 2:31 am

I am thinking of buying the      PCI-E 1024MB 9500GT INNO3D GDDR3 128BIT graphics card, and wondering of anyone have one and is it worth the money?

It's a slow, entry-level card. It's OK if you are not after a large amount of performance, have a slow CPU, or don't have the money to buy something faster.
