Which is better

Asa gyud nindot bro pareha tanan specs sa computer pero ang difference lang kay GF4 6100 separate video card or built-in GF4 6100 ... asay gamay ra ug power consumption ug barato nila.

i would go with a separate v-card,.....by the way, is the GF4 6100 VGA or PCI-E?

mas nindot gyud ang separate videocard bro, kay kung built-in... mokuha na siya sa imo ram.

I think 6100 is not a GF4 and theres no such thing as a 6100 video card (6100 are only available as an onboad apdater for NF410/NF430 chipsets). The lowest GForce 6 series video card in retail is the 6200. Yes it is better to have a separate Video Card but if you'll be using your setup only for officeworks, websurfing and lite applications the onboard video will be enough (for at least you have 512mb RAM).

And for the power consumption, the onboard video will definitely consumes lower than a separate video card assuming your using GF 6200 vs. onboard 6100.

sakto si marcus... but if your a gamer then go with a PCI-e separate v-card to cater you gaming hunger... by the way, ang mga pci-e cards today that are fair enough to play most games in mid resolutions are already cheaper and will cost less if paired with a good board with a tight chipset... :mrgreen:

I agree with maRckie, barato na kaayo karon ang midrange nga video card. I been eying Gf 7300gs and 6600LE for a while they are really tempting. But as of now I'm pretty much contented with my onboard 6100, which can handle games at lower resolution (I'm just a casual gamer though).

the 7300gs is a budget vc... dili na siya midrange... kana nuon 6600 mao na siya ang midrange, hasta ang 7600. kung ati ka, adto kay sa 1600pro and xt. also the x700pro cards... midrange na sila...
