Video Card Upgrades
If you're looking for a new video card, here are some quick tips to help you get started.
1) If you don't play any 3D games, you don't need a super-charged 3D card. It's like having a drag racer for commuting to work. Hmmmm. Nah!
2) If you do play a lot of games, buy a name brand card. Clones are not always supported. The best way to find out which card is best is to check out a reputable gaming site (there are a million of them) and find the most recommended. These guys test these things for a living.
3) More memory is always better!
4) Don't just rely on the box for info! The bar charts on the box are skewed with useless information.
5) If you can, go with an AGP card over a PCI. This has to do with the type of slot in your PC. AGP is specifically made for graphic cards.
6) If you have a flat screen, look for AGP with OpenLDI connectors.
