Ive been trying to play games with my newish computer lately and have had bad results with the Intel G33 chipset onboard graphic card (128).
Computer:
Hp P6177c
Processor: Core 2 Quad Q8200 (Y) 2.33 GHz (95W). 1333 MHz front side bus. Socket 775
Chipset(AND graphic card): Intel G33 Express
Motherboard: Asus IPIBL-LB
Power supply: 300watt
RAM: 8gigs of 240 pin, DDR2 SDRAM
Harddrives: 2/ 1G SATA 3g.
Expansion: 1 PCI slot, 1 PCI Express x16 slot, and 1 PCI Express x1 slot
It locks up trying to play Half Life 2, Team Fortress 2, and Unreal 3. I get video errors when it freezes as well. Windows closes the program on its own.
So i assume my onboard card is garbage.
What graphic card should i get? i know i dont need anything TO much but i dont mind spending a hundred or 2. Should i also replace my power supply to support it better?
