yeah thats what i was asking about the 9800 for cause i only have a 4x agp slot so i would be better off with a 9700 because i wouldn't be able to get the most out of the 9800 because of the 4x.but dude it didn't lag like this will dial up.because i have ddr ram does that mean i have to get a video card with ddr or can it be anything?i want ddr anyways cause it's faster but i'm having my mom by me a video card like a GeForce2 or something just to hold me over until i get my job.
