    Question VC question for Athlon 64 x2 4200+


    i'm not into gaming so i'm pretty much clueless about the ins & outs of vc when it comes to that. the situation right now is that my son is complaining about lags in his online games like the CSS, rainbow six, & the likes. but not ranonline, rakion, or the likes. i basically don't know how they're differentiated but that's the observation.

    his computer is an acer athlon 64 x2 4200+ 2.2ghz. integrated video nvidia geforce 6600. here's a link to further info -
    Acer Aspire E380 - Athlon 64 X2 4200+ 2.2 GHz specs and Desktop specifications - CNET Reviews

    so, do u think his specs is mediocre for his CSS & rainbow six? can't it just be tweaked instead to get better fps? or i really need to get him a new video card?

    here's within budget range, is this any good & give big improvements to his games? pls recommend better ones also or alternate to this.
    BFG Tech - BFG NVIDIA GeForce 9400 GT 512MB DDR2 PCIe 2.0

    salamat kaayo daan sa inyo mga replies,

    better go for at least a geforce 8500gt or an ati2600xt coz with that geforce 9400gt, you might buy a new videocard if your son tries to play crysis

    maybe it is not with your hardware but with your connection to the net @ that particular time since if your connection is slow then surely the game would slow down waiting for the data to process. "just my two cents"

    @erwin_rommel- thanks bro, i'll check those cards, hopefully dili pud mahal kaau.

    @cloud - so, ur saying that with his computer spec & vc his games (counterstrike source & rainbow six) should be ok? it is sufficient, no need of a new video card? i don't doubt the internet, the bw is there, but could be the game servers - slow? is that a possibility? thanks for ur input.

    i think its not about the internet connection anymore because as what he said, ranonline and rakion has no problems. its the on board geforce 6100 limitations that give lags during gameplay

    @erwin_rommel - why is it that u recommend geforce 8500gt(or an ati2600xt) instead of 9400? i thought the 9 series is newer & better than the 8 series? naa ka site ma recommend where i can compare cards? thanks again!

    that geforce 9400 is a low end videocard model. it maybe a newer model but its the low end type. just like when you compare a geforce 7200 videocard against a geforce 6600, the geforce 7200 would eat dust against a geforce 6600

    @der fuhrer - pci-e na ni siya bro, tnx.

    @sasori - sa best buy online US bro.

    unsa pa lain inyo ma recommend? how bout an ATI? other than ati2600xt.

    if 8500gt is indeed better then the better on me coz it is cheaper than the 9400gt, if only i know what's the difference. naa mo site ma recommend na i can see why it is better?

    thank u.
