don't buy HP's with bad video cards no matter how much they cost.

get your self a 9800XT, or 6800gt or X800 pro

and another stick of 512 ram

but the vid card will probably help the most.

It fuckin pisses me off how a company can stick a FX5200 in the same case as an AMD 64 and pass it off as a gaming rig.

that's what i was going to say. :cheers: if he dosn't have the money for any of those cards, the 9800 pros are still a good price.
