Re: upgrade?

well depending on how much you wanna spend and what brand preference you have you could go with like an 8800 from nvidia and you'll be flying or ati ive heard you can find 4850s for good prices on the internet and those things are great. i mean are you just looking to upgrade to be able to play this game up to pace or are you looking for something thats going to be able to consistently play newer games as they come out
that sort of goes in hand with the price question :P

Re: upgrade?

yea the pci express is the way to go pal its the standard now adays. basically pci express x16 is the new standard for high end graphics cards. im assuming your psu can support the cards. price wise i wudnt say their cheaper just depends on which card your aiming at. of course some are more expensive than others (cough geforce)
