Right now I'm using a ATi 9550 256 MB DDR AGP on my Medion M3 Composer 5200. It has a single PCI Express x1 slot, so I have to use a card compatible with that.

I'm considering getting a Radeon X1300 512MB HyperMemory with 128MB Onboard as an upgrade.

I have been considering an upgrade because while my current card has served me well, I've noticed my framerate gets choppy when I play newer games like Company of Heroes.

I want to be able to play Bioshock (when it comes out) at a decent framerate / detail settings but am worried that even the x1300 won't do it for me. Can I get an honest opinion on this? If the x1300 isn't a serious step up from my existing card I'm just going to get an xbox 360 and not worry about upgrading my PC.

Thanks!

My LCD synaps monitor needs a refresh setting of 65. Since this is not an option I tried 75 and the monitor flickers. I tried 60 and their seems to be interference on the screen (it twitches). I went to Dell's website and updated my BIOS and I reinstalled my video adapter. I couldn't even find a website for synaps to downlaod a driver from there. Why doesn't my computer have 65 Hertz as an option? I'm a little frustrated. Can anyone help? Thanks.

Ok i have a older pc and its CMOS battery was replaced about a year ago with no issues. As of late im getting the dreaded blue screen of death and have checked everything software wise to no avail. I noticed that when the pc table is hit that it causes the sys dump to happen so im thinking i may have a hardware issue thats causing the dump.( I just moved my P.C. a few days ago perhaps knocking something loose.) when i opened it up to check conections i didnt notice anything off hand. Ram cards are well conected and so on. I then checked my CMOS battery and noticed it was not to secure in its socket. I ve fixed the "spring" and now it fits snugly inside and dose'nt move so im wondering is it possiable that the loose Btry was the reason for the sys dumps?
