gona have 200$,can either get the 2gb ocz ram (see my sig) or i could my dad to pay 100-150$ towards an upgrade and let him use my x800xl,and get a 7800gt under 350$ or a x1800xt or xl under 350$....what does everone think i should do???....wondering if its the ram or x800xl slowing me down in battlefield 2

slow even at 1024x768 72 refresh all highs no aa...i know you need 2gb ram to use aa but shouldent it run fine with none? OR i can sell xboxes and such that i dont use anymore and go for an x1900

doubt ill get enough tho as the cheapest x1900xtx is the powercolor at 589$

leaning towards the ram as i've just ordered an ati silencer for the x800xl which should allow me to overclock in the vicinity of the 7800gt.....

I would go with the ram cause I just upgraded from 1gig to 2gigs and it made a noticible difference in bf2.
