Upgrading your computer's performance. We are here to help you understand some of the key components behind it all.

Most graphics cards are based on either the ATI Radeon X1900 XTX chips.
* Graphics cards use their own video memory to store data, images, and textures. The more you have, the better the performance.
* For the latest games and video applications, we will recommend a card of at least 256MB.
* Be sure that the card you buy favours monitors with at least a 75Hz resolution. This is to avoid eye strain that would come with the screen's flicker otherwise.
* Depending on the motherboard, you need an PCI Express graphics card. This is the newest interface standard, offering double the bandwidth in order to produce faster and more complex graphics.
* Look for support for both composite video outputs for use with TVs.
