New graphics card

[mythmonster2]

Well, I'm trying to get a really good graphics card for my comp because my current one sucks! So any idea? Here's my current one:

Name: Intel Extreme Graphics Controller
Chip type: Intel 82845G/GL Chip
DAC Type: Internal
Approx. Total Memory: 64 MB
Current Display Mode: 1152 X 864 (32 bit) (75 Hz)

What kind of computer do you have? I'm guessing you have integrated video rather than a separate card here, and I betting that chipset only supports AGP, which is tough to find good cards for now. If you want to play today's games, a new computer might be in order, you'll have better results than from buying a new AGP card and having it handicapped by the rest of your system.

How do you know what your computer supposts?

The easiest way is to open your case and look at the slots. Use the wiki or google to compare yours to PCI, AGP, or PCI-X. Click Start/Run, type dxdiag in the box and hit ok. That'll tell you what type of processor, RAM, and other stuff.
