New graphics Card....worth it or not?
My current system is Athlon 1200, 512Mb Ram, GeForce 2 GTS & Win2k. I'm wondering if it is worth buying a GeForce 4 TI 4200 128Mb graphics card. Will I see a great improvement in games & benchmark tests or will my processor speed limit the improvements the graphics card make?
I plan to build a complete new system in about 4 months anyway, but I will still use my current PC for network games. Will the £150 for a GeForce 4 card be worth it? |

Welcome molinari
NO! Your CPU will not affect the overall performance.
Pop over here for a Card Comparison and see for yourself. Good luck with your next build.  Mucks

Sorry for any confusion ... the no was that your 1.2 will not hinder any performance of the graphics card ...
and YES ... go get one.
