Solve : Video Card Help Needed for Xmas Gift!? |

Answer» Quote from: paintedhorizon on December 24, 2008, 06:55:14 AM What about the one Soy posted, would that work?The card Raptor suggested is a much better card, but the one I suggested will work fine for that game, I am sure. I still think you ought to try running that game with your onboard VIDEO after installing the additional memory. If it runs smoothly, then save your money. Perhaps you can buy a new computer in a year or two. I saw some amazingly low priced computers in Walmart a few days ago. An emachine was priced at $298; a Compaq was priced at $398; these prices do not include monitors. Both computers had Windows Vista Home Premium. The Compaq had 2GB of RAM. Didn't even think about trying it after adding the memory! I'll do that Soy! Everyone have a great Christmas and thank you all again!Let us know how it goes. One thing that hasn't been discussed here is some computer MAINTENANCE that MIGHT make your computer run a little better. Do you use any spyware removal tools, such as Spybot Search & Destroy? You can get it here. I presume you have some virus protection, especially if you use it for email. And, you should always have a firewall enabled, at least Windows firewall if you have not installed a third-party firewall. And, a good tool to help keep your system running it's best it CCleaner. If you're using Norton Anti-virus or McAfee anti-virus, your computer may be taking a performance HIT; those programs (some versions/years are worse than others) use more of your computers' processing power than some of the free anti-virus software that's available to anyone for personal use. I believe you received some CD's with your computer when it was new. Right? Be sure to keep them in a safe place. You can use them to erase your hard drive and restore the computer (Windows and other programs) to the way it was when it was new. And, Merry Christmas to you!What Soybean really means is "Can I come over for Tea, cookies and a Christmas pressie?" Raptor sees right through me. I do have Spyboth S&D, and have McAfee protection, comes with my Comcast. And yes, I HATE it! Myswell give up using the internet when it's downloading updates or scanning!Quote from: soybean on December 24, 2008, 11:03:21 AM Raptor sees right through me. He's like that from time to time...Quote from: soybean on December 24, 2008, 11:03:21 AM Raptor sees right through me. As long as it isn't just the clothes. that would be uncomfortable for everybody (including Raptor himself)Quote from: BC_Programmer on December 25, 2008, 01:47:32 AM Quote from: soybean on December 24, 2008, 11:03:21 AMRaptor sees right through me. I go to nudist colonies. Of course, no one knows. Not even the nudists. heck, they don't even know their nudists!Well, got my new memory installed, still received same error message. So I guess I do still need a video card. |
