I'm in the bad part of recession right now, so I'm having to resort to the Galaxy 7200 GS. What can it play?

2

That sucks man, I wish you the best of luck with your economic troubles. Hmmmm, That will run Warcraft 3, Starcraft, Age of Empires 3, on low maybe, Empire Earth 2, and Civilization 4.

3

You will not be able to play any current generation games.

4

if i were you save up a bit for a 9500gt, or buy a used 9500 for about the same as a 7200gs.

5

I can see that the Galaxy 7200 GS is $27.99 on Newegg, you can get a FASTER Sparkle 8400 GS (8 SPUs) for $24.99.
You can get the Zotac 8400 GS with 16 SPUs for $29.99.

Did you buy the card already?

If you didn't then i recommend the 8400 GS over the 7200 GS. Better performance for a better price.

If you can spare the extra $3 then get the Zotac 8400 GS for $29.99.

6

you can play bf2. at med low settings.

I didn't buy the card yet. I was thinking about getting the 8400 GS, but I'm not sure abot my PSU. 14A on the 12V Rail. I'm using an HP a6400f. I'll try and get a 9500 GT.

power supply is usually 300w. this is enough for a 8400gs. go for the 16sp version. It'll play many games on low settings.

10

I was thinking the Ultra LSP450 and the GeForce 210 by PNY.

11

instead of using $40 on the PSU use it on the graphics card. that will bring you up to a $80 budget!
You could get a 9600 GSO for $69.99 Free shipping and Call of Duty: World at War FREE!
OR if you spend 89.99 on a 9600 GT with $20.00 mail in rebate = $69.99 free shipping.

Dude, I have a 250w PSU with 14A on 12V rail. What makes you think I could run a 9600 GSO on that hunk of shit? Sorry, I'm just really pissed that I wasted my money on an HP when I didn't know anything.

13

thats more than enough 14A on 12V = 168W, You will be fine with the 9600 GT and GSO. (note 9600 GT uses less power over the GSO)

14

I was just looking at vids of the 9400 GS, and it does more than I need. Should I put a 80mm fan on top of the heatsink to lower it 10C, then overclock?

15

if you have the fan laying arround then do it, but don't waste money on buying a new fan

Good luck, man. Overclocking a HP is not possible.
