Could this run css smoothly?

With a new card it would probably be fine. Go spend $180 or something on a new 1GB 4870.

 

But the comp would be able to handle that card, right? ~.~

[Psyche]

get windows 7 and you should run it good

win 7 or xp

[ReGIONALS]

go with andre the 4870 will blow you away on css

as long as you dont end up under clocking because of power issues you get at least 100 frames+ with all high settings and 8xaa, depend how much load is put onto your CPU.

here do you have a PCI x16 2.0 slot on that comp? if not dont buy it...be a waste of money for sumthin not compatible with it...unless you upgrade the mobo also..

If you bought it recently or you're planning to buy it you should have one seeing how it has a GTS 120. A couple things you need to worry about is your Power Supply and the room in your case.

To all the vista haters: Vista SP2 is pretty much XP sp3 par or atleast close enough, quit acting like Vista is the game problem, it's generally hardware.

I will agree Vista is still buggy though.

 

As for your PC, you just need a new GPU and everything will work fine.

 

edit: i ran win7 64 bit with 2gb, worked perfectly fine guys.

(reason for 64 bit was i originally was gonna get another 2gb but never did :X)

Agreed. In some games, Vista is actually better in gaming than XP, but more or less within a 5-10% margin. They are virtually the same in performance when it comes to game.

 

But not when it comes to compatibility and bug-free-ness.

Exactly, i played tf2/cs:s on win7 at times and I only noticed a 10 fps decrease and that was during a early beta build, win7 will soon be optimized very well

 

but yeah, new gpu and you are set, anything 9 serise/gtx/gts will work

dunno about radeon, ive never used ATI before sorry.
