Hello,
I have a asus a8v-vm mother board, amd athlon 64 3000 intergrated
video solution powered by nVidia Geforce6100 that I got last Oct.
with a gig of ram and since then I put in Vista home premium and
another gig of ram that puts me up to 2 gigs of ram . And I was
thinking of puting in a video card but am not sure if it would be
worth the money. I don't play games I view jpegs and sometimes I use
the windows media player. Would like some input as to would a video
card improve anything. Hope I put enough info to get an answere and
thanks in advance.
Well, your integrated GeForce6100 is already very good, as long as you're
not playing games or doing anything else graphics intensive. In fact, it
should even be sufficient for a lot of games, though not the newest and most
demanding ones of course. For what you use your system for, viewing JPEGs
and Windows Media Player, frankly I doubt you'd see any difference with a
video card.
I have no experience with Windows Vista and I don't know whether that makes
a difference, but I'd be surprised if it would for your purposes. If you
ever become interested in playing some of the newer computer games, THEN
you'll definitely want to add a video card. But I'd wait until you actually
have such an interest before buying a card, since that whole technology is
still advancing very rapidly.
Neil
