Well not to burst your bubble, but the videocard you have chosen may have 256 mb of ram but stil dosent have the nesscessary clock/mem speed to give any real peformance. the 9200 is a budget card at best. not really a gamers card. ditch it and get a 9800SE. there cheap and with the omega soft mod you can make them perform like a 9800Pro or better for less than 150 bucks (newegg).
