Forums - Gaming - i need advice....

I want to play games on my PC that are either out now or coming out (such as Crysis, Sins of a Solar Empire, Starcraft 2, Dawn of War 2, etc) but i can't upgrade my graphics card on my curent computer as it only supports PCI cards. So i might have to buy an entirely new computer (costing around $1800 that i will build myself). But I have a PS3 and i know you can install Linux on it and then install Windows XP/Vista emulators onto the linux and therefore get PC games to run. Do you recommend i just save up the money which will take about 5-6 months, or simply use install Linux on my PS3 and use that? Consider that the graphics will be much better on the PC than on the PS3 version and i may encounter problems while using the Windows emulator.

 Just trying to get clarification. Your computer video card slot is PCI or PCI-Express (PCI-E)?

yeah i was guessing that the RAM would be a major issue in this whole thing as theres no way i, personally, could retrofit more RAM. And as totalwar23 already said, no PCI card is strong enough for modern games.



to West-phoenix-az: Its PCI, not PCI-E
