    Hey guys my specs are

    Pentium 4 CPU 2.80ghz
    2.50 gb of ram
    Radeon 9800 pro

    Crappy computer I know.:( I'm wondering, if I picked up a HD 5770 512mb would it enable me to play games like Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3?

    I'm not looking for uber performance, just that it runs at decent settings with a good framerate.

    Thanks!

    You probably only have a mobo that supports AGP only so you cant use any PCIE card. So youre looking at cards 2 years+ old only, see here - http://www.buzzle.com/articles/best-agp-video-card.html

    Whats your mobo?

    Youll also bottleneck with a 3850 as your cpu is too slow, you could overclock it but then you probably need a new cooler

    I think its a waste of time upgrading that thing( the spec sounds like its about 9 years old ), its probably worth 80-100euro

    Ignoring idiots who comment "far right" because they don't even know what it means
