I love playing online games. Especially the 3d ones. But, to make this not be a humongous post, ill just say any 3d game i try to play now is choppy. I have an Emachines T5082 ( i know, it sucks ) with pretty basic stuff ( 512 mb ram, 3.0 GHz cpu, and a ATI Radeon Xpress 200 graphics card) also, i have a 32-bit windows vista OS. ive done all the anti virus and spyware stuff so i know that's not it, and ive freed up a ton of space on my hard drive by doing some tweaks. Now i need to know what is THE BEST graphics card or whatever i need to get 3d games to run smoothly? Also, i want to DOWNLOAD it. Either post downloads or send me money. Please be specific on what i need to do. Thanx in advance! Crap, this is a humongous post...

A graphics card is a physical piece of equipment, you can't download one, that is like asking to download a new monitor or new car. As for which one you need, that depends on how much money you are able to spend. Also you need more RAM as well, which is also a physical part that you cannot download.

Try buying a graphics card - a low end (128mb) ATI or Nvidia card does pretty well for most games - unfortunately, graphics cards are very hard to download.

The best is two 8800 GTX cards hooked up SLI (requires the correct type of motherboard). You will probably also want to up your memory to 2 gigs (do this first).

Voodoo is a really good card, but you have to buy it and install it. Nothing you download will help things, you will need to install a new card and driver

some games are not vista compatable might want to look into that aswell. a graphic card you can't download. you can go to your graphic cards site and look for driver updates, you also might want to see about installing direct x 10...
