An Nvidia 8800 is a better card.

Just as long as your computer meets the requirements to play the game, an NVIDIA 6150LE is a good video card. Make sure there are no other programs running and make sure your computer is free of spyware or anything else that will slow down the game. I know how it is when a bunch of people tell people to get new computers, right? Unlike them, some people can't afford new ones or they don't even need a new one, you know?

Where are you and what is your budget?EDIT: Under $250 you should be able to get ATI Radeon X1950 Pros or NVIDIA GeForce 7900's or 7950's They are not THE latest and greatest, but then no game uses the latest and greatest any way.

Kasey is correct, depending on your budget. The X1950 would be your best bet if your going to keep the computer for awhile, but it your budget is under $200 DO NOT GET THE ATI RADEON X1600 OR ATI RADEON X1650, They are good but i would go for the X1950 is you are going for the X16xx because the X1950 uses a new chip and the X16xx uses the old chip, i would really recommend X1950 for just $50 more. But if you can't add the extra $50 go with Nvideo's 7900's for sure they are far better than ATI Radeon X16xx series. That's just my two cent buy which ever one suits your case.

Btw, even if you had a Nvideo GTGSS Extreme overclocked 8800 you still need a fairly good computer to run the newest games, in a year or 2 games will have a minimum requirement of of at least a dual core, so buy a new computer rather than upgrade if your current computer isn't up to date.
