I'd save more and at least get a entry level card. Then you could get at least a 4850+ radeon, or GTX240.

I doubt TF2 could make a card pull a full load anyway.

A nvidia gt240 costs about 90 USD, dunno how much european money that is. It sips power, and could definitely play tf2 at all highest settings at 60+ fps.

Yeah, like one euro. I'm pretty sure konr can grow the balls to spend as much money as to get what will do what he wants.

Oh... that sucks. For 65 USD, I don't think you really can get a good entry level gaming card, even just to play tf2.
