|  Video Cards?
there are so many different things that video cards can do, some special things i never heard of like, geforce and ati have different things and i dont know if those special features are usefull or if it just lags my PC 
BTW what is a good cheap Graphic card for a graphic designer and sometimes game player, like Battlefield or JKJA my geforce 2 mx handles both no lags, JKJA with highest settings (no wonder quake3 engine) and battlefield/desertcombat with lowest settings. (i think that's because of my 2.2 GHz =)
i dont want one of those 9800 or geforce FX, just a normal graphic card i'm not a fan of fantastic graphic settings in games, i like the gameplay and that's all!

well it's the ram and the HD, because the graphic card has got nothing to do with loading times, right?

well i don't think it does . i would think that loading as in a game or an ap is hd or memory . a slow video card will not build the pic as fast but thats lower frame rates . | |
