Graphics Card & Windows

[blobrana]

Hum,
sounds like you have the graphics card built into the Motherboard...

Does the Sysinfotype program say that it is `Onboard/built in` ?

If so, then the drivers will be on a System CDROM that came with the machine...

if you don't have that, then a quick look at the MoBo make and model will get you the driver (downloaded) from the manufacturer.

It all works fine. The driver from the Intel website installed perfectly and I've now got true colour. The Sysinfo programs said that the graphics card is integrated into the 845G/845GE/845GL/845GV chipset. (It obviously couldn't narrow it down more than that.)

Hum,
Cool...

For future reference, you can add a 30 uk pound graphics card upgrade into a free slot (the shop will do it for free - 10 minute job) such as the nvidia Geforce 5200 that will scare you silly with the speed of the refresh rate...


You want to have an edge on those alien scum in the arena, don't you?

Thanks for the advice. I think I'm a little way off getting a better graphics card. I've only been a PC owner for a few months and the most graphically advanced games I've got are Quake 2 and Populous the Beginning. It will happen one day mind.
