| Those cards are overkill if he's running a 1GHz Athlon imo. Personally I'm running a 1.2 GHz Athlon with a GeForce 4 Ti4200 and they are well matched for most games. I'm not sure if you can still get the Ti4200 or what price they're running at but you might want to look at the GeForce FX5200 or FX5600. For ATI you could try the 9200 or 9600 but make sure to check the benchmarks for the games you want to play. Tomshardware.com did a roundup of cards running on a 1 GHz machine not too long ago. Here's the link: http://www.tomshardware.com/graphic/20030120/index.html |

Tom's has been a joke for well over a year, now. The reviews there are borderline comedy.
Anyway, go for a 9700 Pro. Period. They're cheap nowadays at around $200, and they get the job done like none other for the price. It's what I run, and it owns. |

| go w/ a 9700 or 9800pro. The only bad thing, your cpu and mobo will limit the performance gain that you may see. Try to upgrade mobo/cpu/ram as well. |
