System Specs

9550 question

I have a young friend that is playing Everquest on an Athlon 1.4 system using the onboard video. So, almost any thing would be an up grade He's on a pretty tight budget, and I'm thinking that the 9550 Pro should make a big difference for him.

Would the 9550 give him decent performance? Especially given the limitation of his CPU?

OH, and please, don't give the usual upgrade to a 3500+ with an X800. That's out of the question. But the 9500 Pro IS in his budget.

Thanks

I have a Ati Radeon 9550 and I can play all games on 1024x768 on max settings, but your friend could upgrade his CPU
