Yes and no. If you have a game, check the box to see the recommendations, then look up your present graphics card to see what it does or doesn't have for compatibility. Other causes is your hard drive is getting filled up and the computer struggles to free up resources. You might want to go to Control Panel and choose Add/Remove Programs to ditch programs you haven't used in a long while to free up space. You might need more RAM if you have 512 MB or less. You have too many programs running in the systems tray, some you might want to disable if you don't need them. Errors in your registry, and computer configuration. There is a free and safe program you can download called Advanced Window Care that can help. Chow

They will not, unless you are doing things that require advanced graphics or videos. This would not be the case unless you are doing graphics design or playing very recent games on your computer. If your computer is running slowly, go to preferences and change things like the animated window opening and closing. This will reduce strain on your graphics card.

In uncommon circumstances, including a card can decelerate non-three-D applications. that is in many cases via an improve the position the onboard portraits chipset has no longer been disabled at the same time as a clean card has been further. otherwise, a portraits card ought to speed issues up. edit: and, i forgot, as suggested above, some playing cards (which contain nvidia 'hypermemory' fashions) share gadget RAM, even at the same time as no longer getting used, and so can decelerate your computer. Such playing cards are often a waste of money

depending on your activity, yes. most new programs require some sort of graphic acceleration. if your card is too slow this sctivity would put a larger strain on your processor, slowing everything down. the graphic/video card's purpouse is to take work off of the processor and make things pretty. NEDM.

Only if you are utilizing software that requires a bigger demand for your card. For example when you are playing games, creating home movies etc. Basic use shouldn't be affected.

possibly. if the CPU or motherboard has to convert things to an older "language" but i doubt it, but a new one would certainly improve performance

nope... they don't got nothing to do with the speed... they only got to do with the quality of the output image wise.
