As i'm planning to upgrade my graphic card to play SC2, how can i know if my motherboard is compatible with the graphic card bought? Motherboard Specs Manufacturer : Dell Inc. Model : 0WG864 Graphic Interface Version : PCI-Express (Link Width :x16, Max. Supported x16) For the graphic card, i'm planning to buy the GeForce 9800 GTX. Any other graphic card recommendations are gladly welcomed of course. Hoping to play SC2 smoothly on high settings using my rig below: Intel® Pentium® D CPU 2.80GHz 2 GB RAM Windows XP SP3 p.s: Sorry for being a newb in computers, still learning hard. :S Hi, I think your processor will be the bottleneck as RTS is more processor intensive. The game will runs smoothly for all campaign mode but will drag on massive 4 vs 4 battle on the internet. Graphic card 9800 is just on the border line. It works but not in ultra setting. Why that particular card? I believe you can get better bang with a little extra money. not sure if i can post links here but u can get some nice info on the us.battle.net technical support.

If you are buying nvidia there is less worries on the power but do a CPUZ printout to your hardware shop if you are going for the ATI which are more power hungry in general. Also know that it is pointless to get a top tier graphic card as your processor will not be able to *draw that fast. I am also a budget gamer and i just upgraded my RAM and graphic card to play SC2. thus i know a little of this things. for your reference » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Manufacturer: Intel ( OEM for Dell Dimension E520 Motherboard ) Dell Compatible Part: WG864 0WG864 Specifications: • Socket LGA775 • Onboard Intel 945 graphics chip • Hyper-Threading Technology Support • 4 Dual Channel DIMM Support for 533Mhz DDR2 • 4 GB MAX system memory • 1x PCI-Express Slot • 16x PCI-Express Slot • 2 PCI slots • Integrated 10/100/1000 Lan • Integrated AC97 Sound • 4 Serial ATA Hard Disk Connectors • One Floppy Connector • 6+2 USB 2.0 Ports • 7.1 Surround Sound Audio Ports
