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.

      Panthers' content round up

      By Icege · Posted

      Still working on consuming all of these so I don't have summaries available, but I figured there might be another Huddler or three trying to kill time before tonight's final preseason game.   Panthers Blueprint: Training Camp The in-house produced Blueprint series has given behind-the-scenes look on the field and off. Start the day with Robert Hunt's family, be in the morning meetings, mic'd up players during practice (Jaycee, Rozeboom, Icky, and Bryce), roster evaluations by the staff, and plenty of camp highlights capping off with FanFest.   Processing Blue (Mike Kaye & Alex Zietlow Mike and Alex are back talking about a variety of topics including but not limited to: joint practice + preseason game vs. Houston, Trey Hendrickson trade rumors involving Carolina, training camp awards, draft pick draft, and various thoughts about the team.   Jordan & Jake 706: Opening Day Another in-house Panthers' production, the most recent episode of Jordan and Jake talk about how to properly balance intensity in practice, react to the starters being shutdown for the preseason finale, share their thoughts on the newest Panther QB, and more.   Raw Room - Ep 278 - Gas Pedal (ft. Mike Davis) Assistant special teams' coach Darren Bates' Raw Room podcast has former Panthers' RB Mike Davis on his weekly podcast. I'm about halfway through this one and it's been a lot of fun. The Raw Room guys (DB, his friend Alex Sweets, former Eagles/Chargers OT King Dunlap, and former Atlanta DB Jalen Collins) are hilarious and Mike fits right in. They talk about his football experience coming up, decommitting from Florida and how he decided on South Carolina, and more. Warning: If you're the type of person that is easily distracted by accents, despite XL being on the team, you might have issues with understanding the Memphis dialect. If you don't care about how somebody talks, just what they're talking about, tune in!

      Allen was borderline unplayable in College.  He's an absolute unicorn in terms of his career panning out the way it has.

      It's a step up in competition as well. The gap in athletic skill is narrowed from what was faced at the college level.
