I have 2 pcs, both with "integrated" video cards and I have always heard that if one uses a separate video card with it's own memory that it really helps with the overall speed of a pc.

I was wondering if that was true, if it is, how much difference and if one could be added to a slot and disable the one on the motherboard (which I would assume would be done in device manager).

Thanks.

Hello,

Does anybody know a computer screen brand that makes your eyes less tired and painfull to watch than traditional screens?

My eyes feel sore from working behind it 12hrs a day. I take constant breaks and keep the brightness of my laptop screen relatively low. I want to know if there are any technical ways I can decrease eye soreness from computer screens.

Thanks in advance
