It's all french to me guys so all I want to know is which Nvidia card should I buy to run Battlefield 2?

There's a massive list on the back of the box of which ones it takes but some are cheaper than others and I realy dont want to spend that much just to run a game, but I also dont want it crashing all the time either.

What Graphics Slot do you have on your motherboard, AGP
[IMG:309:52:4c09b48eb7]http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a153/siccyp/agpslot.jpg[/img:4c09b48eb7]
or PCI Express?

I'm going to guess an AGP as PCI Express is pretty newish.

An ATI Radeon X800 is what i got and they are the shizzle as they have just dropped in price thanks to a new top end card coming out.

Or the ATI Radeon X700 is pretty good too

If you do have PCI Express then an ATI Radeon X1600 would be a good idea

Just a couple of suggestions.
