Building/Upgrading a PC for TS2
Frankenbeasley:
I've got an x800xl at the moment, which is basically just a bloody great heatsink with some bits in the middle. It is a great card even without the added bonus of silent running. It handles TS2 and Oblivion pretty well flawlessly. It was certainly a nice move up from the FX5200 which I had before.

Has anyone bought a conroe yet? I have built one several times but just can't bring myself to push the confirm button until I hear how people with TS2 like it. Thanks.

I blew up my gaming computer and won't be able to replace it until the new year (yay tax return), so I'm upgrading my old desktop just enough to run the Sims 2. I have about $100 for both a video card (agp) and memory (this piece of crap compaq has only 256 and can only handle 512). I found RAM for about 35 bucks with a coupon at upgradememory.com (anyone ever buy from them?) so I have about 40 to 80 dollars for an agp video card. I'm thinking about a GeForce fx5700 or 6200, or a Radeon 9600. At EA support, the 6200 isn't listed as compatible with the game, but I've heard a few people say they play with it. My PSU is only 250 watts, so I think the GeForce 6600 or 6800 are too much, right? Does the 6600 need it's own power supply? I only have a GeForce 2 on this pitiful box, so anything would be better at this point. Opinions?
