    Im looking to buy a new compy to play up coming mmos like warhammer age of reckoning or age of conan. What I'm really confused about is how intense the video card has to be. Ideally I would like to spend 1k or less and i am not looking to run the games on their highest settings, just that they run will be enough :). I was looking at http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage...=product&tab=1&id=1196470144972#productdetail and didnt see ATI RADEON HD2400 on the stickied list of cards so I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas or experience with it, I dont really want to drop a grand unless it will suit my purposes.

    thanks for your time

    i think a 8600m gt is enough to run warhammer decently, dunno about age of conan tho.. dunno about the ati radeon hd2400

    you may want to invest in something better like Go 8600M GT if your budget is under $1k. try waiting for vostro/xps1530 coupons or you can also try looking at outlet.dell.com
