Well, it all depends on what you're using it for. The 64mb video card won't hold up to any source game, let alone most other games. But if you want it as a computer, to do things like browse the internet/runescape, then you'd be fine.

What about playing rs, watching movies, and perhaps a few pc games? What kind of video card do I need for certain games? Im new at tech stuff, =/

It will be fine for RS and movies however you willl want to invest in a better graphics card a better graphics card in order to plat the newer games.

 

This is a cheap card ($67 after rebates) which will increase the gaming performance a lot.

 

This one performs a little better, but supports the new DX10 which is used in the lastest games (not needed to play them though) and Vista $99.

The first card Joe recommended (the 7600GT) will be fine for playing PC games. I just got a 7600GT and it plays CoD4, Bioshock, all source games and Enemy Territory: Quake Wars very well (just to mention a few games).

 

 

 

A good card at a good price.
