Hello, I have an old computer with a 'Medion Radion X740XL' in it. I have an old '256mb Nvidia GeForce 7300LE'. I know they are a both a bit old and rubbish but i want to use the computer to play some old games and some newish adventure games not the new Broken Sword style ones but games like The Lost Crown. Which card would be best for that? Also in the device manager under the X740XL graphics card bit it said secondary. what does that mean?

Code:
Minimum System Requirements
Processor: Pentium 2 Processor
Video Memory: 128 MB, 32 Bit Color @ 1024×768 Resolution
Sound Card: DirectX Compatible
DirectX: 9.0c
Recommended System Requirements
OS: Windows XP/Vista
Processor: Pentium 4 Processor or Athlon Equivalent
Memory: 1 GB
Hard Drive: 1.2 GB Free
Video Memory: 128 MB, 32 Bit Color @ 1024×768 Resolution
Sound Card: DirectX Compatible
DirectX: 9.0c
So from system requirements it looks like your system/card will do fine as is.

Sorry I forgot about that, the secondary is part of the same card, most video cards these days have a primary and secondary output. So in your case just ignore it.

Ok, no problem i will ignore it. But what i would like to know is, is the Nvidia 7300LE a better card? If you were in my position would you take the X740XL and put the 7300LE in to give you a better performance, or would it give a worse performance?
