I am posting so that you don't feel ignored I guess.

However I have no clue what the "best" video card is. I would buy whatever you can get at $100. Them damn things are expensive so I am sorry to say that you're not going to be able to get a very good one. The one I wanna get is like, $500 or some crap.

It would all depend on the best place to buy and/or what is your budget. I know in Canada, you can get a radeon 9800 pro for around $250- $350 at Futureshop. Some stores will sell cheaper, I heard a few online sites will sell it even cheaper, depending on the currency bla bla. Do some checking around go to a few local computer/electronics stores or even online store websites. Those can give you a good idea on price range and best graphic card.

For your computre specs.. I have no idea if a celeron would do good with eq2.. im afraid of running it on my celeron 3.0ghz.. but only because my motherboard doesn't support AGP, so i got some crap Intel Extreme Graphic card...

Good Luck..

Oh, almost forgot to mention. You can always save your money. Then, buy the best one when ready.. That's what i'm doing to get a p4 over my p3, and 1gb over my 512mb, but Eq2 runs decent on my main computer. P3 800mhz, 512mb, Radeon 9800pro.

You used the £ sign i assume you are brit.

A good card for EQ2 at a good budget is R9600pro which is £61 at ebuyer.

before you work on that graphics card, you need to work on that processor

The processor isn't that bad, I used to have a 900 something mhz just recenetly upgraded everything though... mmm

I mean the cache on the processor...not the speed.

I think he means its because its a celeron which is rather a weak processor.

If you have an AGP slot on your mobo, pick up the 9600. Like hercules said, it's good card.

I do not believe that you will have any problems running the game with your celeron. According to some article that I read over at pcpitstop. Celerons are alot better than they used to be.

Take care

only problem is newegg.com does not ship international...so he is going to have to find a europe shop. but for around $100 dollars i would go with the ati 9600 or geforce fx 5500. first, you will have to find a place that ships in europe.
