HOLY CRAP!!!!!!! I didnt even know computer like yours were still out there. brother you need alot more than a graphics card. you better get atleast 512 ram and youll still lag hard. you need a gig of ram. atleast move up in proccessor speed to 1.8 - 2.0g and as far as graphics card. your post wouldnt pull up for me but you need a hard core 128 as a minimum but really you should get a decent 256. sorry if i just made it rain on your parade but you need to buy a new computer.

wow, yeah, bud you'll need a new processor, more ram(can never have enough) and i think a 128 vid card will do pretty good..
Might want to check out http://www.newegg.com great prices, great products... speaking of specs though, will i be ok with an Athlon 64 2800 cpu, 1gig of ram, 128 Nvidia GeForce 5600 Ultra ? it played WoW with no problems except the ones that were from blizzard... any suggestions?

a gig of ram yea youll be good with that. my processor is 1.8 right now but soon as i get back to the states im building a new computer with amd 4000 clawhammer core which is 2.4. i do ok. at 1.8 depending on your 2800 i looked it up could be 1.6 or 1.8 whethere its semperon or athalon. if your at 1.8 then your their with me so you should be fine i went from a 64 video card to 256 so i cant tell you how good or bad a 128 would do. i say get the best graphics card you can get. the new comp im building i havent decided between the 6800gt or the 7800gt probably the 6800gt because my board is gonna let me go sli and ill have 512 eventually and it wont be too expensive even though the card will be about 300 still. ram. im going up to 2 gigs and yes its possible to have to much ram if you was to put a gig stick in all 4 of the slots on the mobo im getting you would be splitting it up to much and from what i read it would basically turn my pc 3200 400 into pc 3200 333 and we dont want that :) if your getting a new comp (just chatting now) dont let someone talk you into a 940 socket mobo or processor theyre a dead end now and amd n intel wont be making new proccessors for that socket go with 939 thats what im going with and its looking very promising especially with the dual cores were are looking in the future. as for now im sticking with the fast single core. just like ddr can and is still a little better than the ddr2 -thats just for now- another year and ddr wont be the best...... well im outta here take care.
