my cuzin just got a new PC, a Dell Dimension E521
He needs a graphics card that is compatible with Windows Vista and
Spider-Man 3. Any ideas?
His PC has AMD 64 X2 3600 and 1GB RAM and an available PCI-Express slot.
Please help, thank you! :D

7300's are bad. Get a 7600.

Aawww. You know, there's no true love. Just fervent sexual longing. *grabs jmac, holds him tight in a manly way and strokes his golden curly hair* And it's sooo much better...

quit the clownin'...this isnt the swamp/ahto ;)

8600 for a good budget card....absolutely.

I prefer XFX cards, but theyre always a bit more expensive.. :(

Heres one... $145 for the XFX aint too bad:

Ebay Linky (http://cgi.ebay.com/XFX-GeForce-8600-GT-256MB-DDR3-PCI-Express-NIB_W0QQitemZ160125630888QQihZ006QQcategoryZ80192Q) QssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)

Dont forget, XFX are one of the rare hardware manufacturers that offer a LIFETIME warranty ! Which says a heck of alot about their Quality Assurance/Control...

please do *not* get a 7300 - they are a caching card....and in Vista work even worse... (vista drivers arent handling 7 series GPU caching as well as xp drivers, of course)
