Looks fine to me. It would help more if you posted what hardware is SUPPOSED to be with the computer so we can find out if its all detected and running properly. But it looks fine.

The 1st video card I had for it was a 8800 GT and ever since I changed to the 460gtx. But when Im playing World of Warcraft it freezes up on me for a good 20 sec sometimes I dunno if its my connection or the new video card

They shouldn't. If you visit the nVidia website theres different drivers for the different familys. for a reason.

Nvidia use what they call a "unified driver" or one size fits all approach, the current driver is for all cards from the 6 series to the 4xx series. I have found that whilst you can get away with installing a new driver over an old one it's best to remove the driver and reinstall it if you change cards.

Upon research you and j-whatever are correct, my bad. I apologize.... and there went that theory. I guess you learn New things every day.

That's not a bad thing either.

Quick query - 2814 seems like an odd amount of ram you would almost need to be running 2x1G, 1x512, 1x 256 to get that. I sure hop all that ram has good timings as I dont see a 256M module as being too fast - it may be possible it is bringing the ram speed down a tad.

The odd ram amount is most likely due to the artificial limitations of the 32-bit operating system.
Speaking of which even though the GTX 460 is DX11 you will not actually be able to use DX11 until you upgrade from XP. I would recommend win7 64-bit so you can also use as much ram as you want.

The technical limit is actually 4gb but in reality it tends to vary from 2.8 to 3.4 depending on a variety of factors. Also he may have an IGP enabled that is using some of the ram.
Graphics card Authority

The OS has to use the 4GB to map all memory, including the videocard's framebuffer.
So due to inefficancies the limit is around 3.8GB, then minus ram on the GTX 460 and you get 2.8+.
