Hi Ell, welcome to the PC Mech forums!
The Vanta LT 8MB is a basic 2D budget card not really designed for gaming, so you'll notice a big speed increase if you switch over to the GeForce 2 MX, which a gaming card. I checked the specs for your system and it's listed as coming with only 64MB of RAM. I would definately upgrade that to 128MB or 256MB (now, while RAM is still cheap) before you upgrade the video card. Hope that helps.

Run ! Run while you still can !
I have to agree with DrZaius ! Buy more RAM ! Quick ! It is cheap, it is available, and it is worth the (small amount of) money !
why are you still reading this message ? Go now !  pstj |
