New PC Configuration.

[Epo]

Whatever you want to buy, don't buy GeForce 7300GT. It doesn't support Freelancer at all Freezes computer very often when you're playing FL (especially if you use commodity/equipment dealer) and you need to restart it. Well allows to play with SWAG pack with full details, but well, don't buy it. Just a tip

it's processor is slow I mean 2.2

What the heck do you want to do with a dual core @2,2 GHz each when your graphics card is one like that. You'll have to look at the whole system and how they will work together

[Neonzumi]

@1.10Ghz each,
@2.2Ghz Total.

Also dxdiag says my graphics card has 1gb VRAM for some reason O.o

The question people should be asking is.....

Does his 'new' (to him) PC do what he wants it to do?

My PC is almost 'old tech' in the scheme of things, but it still does everything I want it to do and with reasonable speed as well.

I don't have any plans to do any major upgrades any time soon.

$75 for a functioning computer is outstanding value, even if the gear in it is as old as it sounds.

FYI, my PC specs are as follows, information gathered by a cool little program called 'Speccy', google it and see how cool it is and it's FREE!

It can run League of Legends at 60fps,
It can run Freelancer,
I can play TES IV Oblivion at 60fps low seting,
I can play Devil May Cry 3 full seting 60fps.

Does everything i wan't it to do.

Also i still need someone to answer this question to me:
Rebirth said my graphics card is a 64mb VRAM,yet dxdiag says it has 1gb of VRAM.Why is that? :|

Well, Rebirth is probably going from what your CPU-Z pics said and it does indeed say the video card only has 64 MB of RAM.

Information I have found via Gooogle, states that it could have anywhere up to 512 MB RAM on the video card and this page --> http://www.nvidia.com/page/7300_features.html says it has a feature called 'Turbocache'.

NVIDIA® TurboCache™ Technology
Shares the capacity and bandwidth of dedicated video memory and dynamically available system memory for turbocharged performance and larger total graphics memory. Available on GeForce 7300 GS and GeForce 7300 LE only

This reads like the video card is capable of supplementing the video RAM by 'borrowing/using' some of the RAM on the motherboard or something along that line.

Grab 'Speccy' from Piriform, run that and see what it says about your PC, I have no idea how it will go with a system as old as yours, but it could be quite interesting!

At any rate, as it is doing what you want it to and not causing you any grief, leave it alone.

As somebody said, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

Also thank you guys for all the help and opinions!

get another 2 gig stick EXACTLY the same, to run in dual channel and youll see it will run quicker, its better to buy ram in pairs for it
