hi, my question is about my computer's graphics card?
482711
first of all, its nice to have a 8x card with PCI-EC but its just like having a AGP almost, and trust me... I've got a Pentium 3 comp., so  better enjoy it lol. anywho, but u can always have the kick @$$ 16x. reading up on things, if u have a card that does support two 16x then u can join up the two and get double the power, so in other words 16*16=256, now thats awesome. BUT... if u have only one card in there, then itll only support up to 8x. thats the sucky part. I'd say if u have the money to get the 16x and buy another one. another problem is the money. usually the ones that have the double cards cost around $300 - $500. soooooooooooooooooo thatll be.... about $600 - $1,000. yep... pretty pricey. but then again itll be worth it. \n\nanother thing is if ur computer will support it. ur on ur own on that one. u might have to look and dig for some info online. i was trying to find some online from gateway and googling it but my search wasnt too good. so again ur on ur own on that one...\n\nthe cards are not all the same, ur just gonna have to go on the word of each ones. of course ur gonna want to go with the two big guys: ATI and NVidia. nvidia has this thing called SLI. adapt the two suckers with a attachment to connect them together and vioala, uve got ur double cards going. ATI in the other hand says it does have a double cards connecting thing, they call it CrossFire, enabling multi-GPU's to go at it. THE DIFFERENCE: god knows what is. to tell u the truth theyre both amazing. i see nvidia's and ati's and damn, its damn right gorgeus. so either way ur gonna have to stick to one and only one manufacturer. u cant mix two types of PCI EC's lol. till then that raps it up for  PCI EC's, but there will always be more in the near future. till then keep ur eyes peeled...

I honestly doubt your graphics card is anywhere near what you need.  As for the processor...maybe, but good luck.  If you post what type of motherboard you have specifically I (or many others) can help with the graphics card.

I can't tell you what you have but I can tell you how to find out.\n1.) Right Click your desktop and choose properties from the context menu.  \n2.) On the Display Properties Menu click the settings tab.\n3.) Below the picture of the monitor it will say something like MAG 986 on Geforce 6600 or something to that effect.\n\nThe latter half of the statment is your Video card.\n\nNvidia cards go to http://www.nvidia.com\nATI cards go to http://www.ati.com

First you have to determine what kind of graphics card slot is available on your computer.  In order of speed graphics slots are..\n\nPCI-express\nAGP 8x\nAGP 4x\nAGP 2x\nPCI\n\nOnce you figure out what kind of slot you have available you can go to a site like Toms hardware and look at speed ratings based on the video bus.. \n\nhttp://www.tomshardware.com/site/vgacharts/index.html

This feature sounds like it was some sort of virtual desktop that was provided by your graphics card drivers on your old card. It is not a standard windows function and it seems your new card doesn't offer this feature. You could try downloading and installing this...\n\nhttp://www.download.com/Enable-Virtual-Desktop/3003-2346_4-10418016.html

Very, very bad answer from that last guy, very bad.  That is an integrated card that was not meant for gaming.  Anyway, there is really nothing you can do, laptops are not easily upgradeable like desktops.  This laptop was not designed for gaming, and there is really nothing you can do to change that.  Sorry.

This may be your video card going bad.  If there is a fan on the video card, make sure it is free of dust and operational.  If you have access to a different video card then try that.

You can always make G-card upgrades, most most likey your computer uses PCI but check the manual.

It is impossible to download a graphics card.  If you are looking for the drivers you need to discover the manufacturer and then venture to their website to download the drivers or do a web search and find them through other means.

Your graphics card is buit-in from your motherboard.  Try to visit your motherboards manufacturer's website.  They provide drivers that is optimized for your motherboard and its better than generic drivers.\n\nOr install VIA Hyperion Pro Driver Package http://www.viaarena.com/default.aspx?PageID=420&OSID=1&CatID=1070

i think maybe not all of the chipset is suppor that kind of acceleration. Or, if it's support, why don't you try to reinstall the driver of the Graphics Card?

that is a lot of stuff to describe...I've selected a site that helps describe each spec in "real world" english.. :)\n\nhttp://www.sarafco.com/Graphic-Card-Advisor.html

If this is a problem that started out of the blue without you touching any of your settings, chances are there is a problem with either your motherboard, graphics card or processor. I had this same problem and it turned out that my motherboard had burnt out.\n\nI don't know how old your computer is but if it is more than 3 years old, chances are it is burnt out and you will need to replace your base unit.

You should be able to access the card properties through control panel.  There you should be given a choice of acceleration methods.  If this does not have hardware acceleration listed as an option, it is probably either a low end 3d or 2d card.  Most 3d cards have an embedded heat sink that you can see when you look at it.  For ease of explaining, please visit my site below, and go to the computer talk section where you can see what a typical 3d card looks like.  If this is an older card, your game probably won't play right anyway.  Most games now require anywhere from 16-64 megabyte video, and a few newer ones as much as 128 megabyte.  For the best prices should you decide to replace the card please visit http://www.geeks.com and http://www.pricewatch.com  Both are good sources. \nYou can also go to Start> Programs> Accessories> System Tools> System Information to see what is listed as the manufacture and other info on your video card.  Hope this helps.

A little more information would be nice.  if you want to upgrade to a better graphics card.  Open you case and look at your mother board.\n\nYou can determine what type of graphics card your motherboard needs in several ways (beginning with the easiest method):\n\nBy checking your owner's manual \nBy opening your computer's case and visually inspecting the graphics slot \n\nVisually inspecting your graphics slot. Though I recommend consulting your owner's manual or computer manufacturer to determine which card your system requires, it is possible to open your computer's case and visually inspect the graphics slot on your motherboard to determine which type you have. \n\nThere are two ways to determine whether you have an AGP or PCIe slot by visual inspection:\n\nAGP slots are farther away from the back edge of the motherboard — typically about 2.5 inches (BROWN IN COLOR). \n\nThe other slots on the graphics card are conventional PCI slots, which are typically all the same size. (WHITE IN COLOR).\n\nThey have not made 3 meg graphics cards in years.  \n\nNormally they are 32 Meg. 64 meg, 128 and so on a 128 meg graphics card would be the best.\n\nIt depends on your operating system.  How much Ram you have?\nSpeed of your mother board.  How old you system is?
