ok 3 days ago i went and bought Aion ( yes that MMO thats not wow:eek: ) now my computer essentially had a seizure when i tried to play it. So went and got some RAM sticks and that let me play it, but my graphics card is el cheapo and can't run it all (theres is no ground or mountain textures and enemies are black moving blobs on the screen). Does anyone know of a suprememly high powered AGP video card capable of running off a 450 watt psu and uses DDR memory?:hmm:

The system ram doesn't have anything to do with the graphics card since they have their own memory but it does help your system handle the loading and running of the games.

While many new cards have better proccessors that run a lot cooler and with less power draw I can't think of any "supremely high powered" cards that are agp and only need 450 watts.. lol those terms don't really fit together with the newer PCI Express 2.0 16x sli cards. Most of these cards need a min of 550 watts.

While I'm a Nvidia man I think the Radeon HD 3850 might be your best and only choice http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102730
