I built my machine back in '05. It was a nice system back then and I built it so I could upgrade it later in pieces. Shortly after I got my job, I had no time for games...so all I ever upgraded was the processor (3200+ single core to 3800+ dual core) and memory from 2GB to 3GB.
Recently I saw Alice 3 was being mulled around and didn't realize Alice 2 was out! Looking at specs, one guy said a 7800gt was just barely enough to play.
So...I know I have two x16 PCIe slots. I think they'd be 1.0...dating it back to purchase date. I looked around and saw that any new video card should be compatible, it will just be limited to data rate of 1.0 spec. I'm cheap as hell. I won't spend over $100 for a better card. I am not partial to ATI/AMD or nVidia...however I've been out of the loop so long, I don't know what product lines are the latest in either camp.
