Video Card Question...

Doubt it. I'm sure upgrading your card in general will see some improvements, but all things the same, more memory won't really help that much. Video memory is mainly(could say exclusively) used for textures.

I know Vista uses video hardware for stuff, but I don't know how much that'd be a factor(my guess is very little).

but... a card with only 256 is OLD. getting a new/current 1 gig card would be a great improvement.

256 is old. But the question was, would it improve 2d apps? The answer to that question is no there would be 0 improvement.

you must always see the real question. It wasnt really will it improve, it was to validate if he should buy a new toy, and the answer to that is always yes.

also, should have bought an ati 4870 or an nvidia 260/280 over the 9800 with a 24"

I just got the ATI HD3850 and it runs pretty nice. Not sure on the Nvidia cards as I have always used ATI. Would have gotten a nicer card but that it the limits for an old agp set-up.

I will own your ass in COD5

Which one is that?

I have COD 4 and COD world at War which is awesome.

      The problem with these summary stats and rankings is that they flatten out progression and assume an even performance throughout the year. His first 3 or 4 games of the season don't really tell you anything about his current level of capacity but more about where he started and what his floor was last year. Given his last several games were against playoff teams, that gives you an idea of his current ability coming into the season. But it will serve more as a floor than a ceiling given the upgrade in talent on offense. And a better defense should give us more stops which results in shorter fields and more opportunities. And going into his third year there is no reason to suspect he will regress. His success wasn't  based on being superhuman but being smart and taking what was the defense was giving him. Distributing to the other guys not trying to do it on his own. He was great at the end when pressured and consistently moved the ball. That makes him a great game manager which is what we need. Something that is easier to do and relies on everyone else rather than having to be a top physical specimen or do it on his own. No one can predict the future but to say we haven't improved much is crazy given just having the Browns anchoring the defensive line will shut down the run and make sure QBs won't be stepping up in the pocket.  Assuming Evero got the message to can the prevent defense and bend until you break philosophy.

      If the Canes don't bring back Tyson Jost or Jack Roslovic, is Tanner Jeannot an option? https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/2025/06/senators-expected-to-show-interest-in-tanner-jeannot.html
