Tower Weight 9.98 kg|||I have an Intel quad too that came with a 9500 GS. You will definitely see a good difference if you spend $100 or $200 on a different card, something like a Radeon 4850 (what I have now) or higher, or 9800 GTX+ or higher on the Nvidia side|||go for ATI power color ATI 4850 Value for money card. 512 Mb is for 9000/-|||Answer 1 is good so thumbs up
