KenB Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 Hi and welcome to ExTS I have had a quick look at the system specs: [h=1]ATI HD 6450[/h] This is NOT a video card suitable for high-end gaming. It is basic at best. It is a cheap card - approx £35 They don't specify Win7 32 or 64 bit. I would want to see 64bit - there is a move away from 32bit systems.

TheDevil Posted March 9, 2012 Author Posted March 9, 2012 Thankyou for your reply and im not really into high end games but as you said its basic so should i go for mid range? and the windows 7 included in this comp says 64 bit ? does this not mean the computer is 64 bit then ? sorry to sound dumb Quote
KenB Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 so should i go for mid range? It depends on how much you want to spend. included in this comp says 64 bit I missed this - sorry - I did say it was a quick look. I should have realised it was 64bit as it had 8 GB RAM !! If you want to play high end games ( I am not a gamer ) you need a good Video Card. Anything under £150 will probably not be good enough. For gaming less than 8GB RAM is probably not going to do the job very well. Look at the system specs for a couple of games that you want to play. They usually specify the minimum requirement for Video Card etc. Quote There is an email going around offering processed pork - gelatin - and salt in a can ......this is simply SPAM !!

KenB Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 ATI HD 6450 This card should be OK for watching movies. Quote There is an email going around offering processed pork - gelatin - and salt in a can ......this is simply SPAM !! MiniToolBoxNetwork TestWireless Test
