I'm extremely computer illiterate and to be honest I find all the letters and numbers that pass for names of graphics cards to be painfully confusing.
So I ordered a new PC mainly because the graphics card I currently have is very outdated (ATI Radeon X1200 Series). After a fairly quick search I ordered a PC with a Intel GMA X4500 (yeah I really need help) I have cancelled that order. Now I have no idea which graphics cards are better than others and I don't want to make the same mistake again.
So here are my choices for PC's in my price range:
Integrated graphics (I don't think that sounds good)
NVIDIA Geforce 6150 integrated graphics- 256 MB shared memory
NVIDIA® GeForce™ G210 with PureVideo® HD technology, 512 MB dedicated video memory (sounds better)
NVIDIA GeForce G210 graphics processor (what's the difference^^)
NVIDIA GeForce 310 graphics- 512MB dedicated video memory
NVIDIA GeForce GT320 graphics processor- 1GB dedicated video memory (This one is probably out of my price range but how much better is it?)
My other option would be to buy a graphics card and pay someone to install it on my current PC so here's my specs
AMD Sempron(tm) Processor LE-1250 2.2 GHz
2GB RAM (room to upgrade)
32 bit operating system
ATAPI DVD D DH16D4S ATA Device
probably not worth it though.
