Ok, I have a compaq presario with a pentium 4 2.5 ghz processor, 512 mb ram. Everything in the computer is stock with what ever the manufactuer put in it. Im wanting to play battlefield 2142 and i need to know which geforce graphics card would be compatible with my computer. I know i need more ram and have it on the way, about a gigs worth. I just need a graphics card for now that will allow me to play it til i am able to buy a new pc. Also, my pc uses ddr ram, if that helps any. |

If you could give us the model number, 'Compact Presario XXXX'. As long as it is not a laptop should be a ble to sort out a gpu upgrade...

yeah and be sure to add more ram, 512MB is just not gonna cut it.
Upgrade to at least 2GB in total.
