Hi

I'm new round here but I've seen you are all very helpful, so i hope you can help.

My Video card has gone up in smoke, it's very hard to even post this thread, everything look's like an Andy Worhole picture, so I'm assuming it broke and the computer is using some standard mother board graphic's.



I Obviously need too upgrade but i don't know how far i can go. I was running an Nvidea 8300 GS, as far as i can tell it's a PCI e with a memory of 256 Mb. obvousily i don't want one worse then this. I have heard my power supple might need upgrading for top line graphic's cards. I also think that my Intel core due 2 might stop me from getting the most out of a top line card. The last thing too mention is while i'm not a gamer, it would be nice too play GTA3 or Duke nukem forever, I'm more of an internet browser and have children.

Hope you can help

Don't want too sound too new but are both them cards not lower then the one I'm using at the mo?

My case is 40 deep X 40 high X 20 Wide CM, approx, just out of interest how is this relevant are they not all the same with some tower and some desktop?

Is the sparkle and palit Geforece GT 440 the same as the Nvidia?
I keep loosing out on E-bay.

Everyone's been great, great advice.

I seem too be aiming for a geoforce gt 440.

I'm just stuck on one last problem, can anyone recommend a cheap website were i can buy one, second hand will do, not having much look with e-bay?

unfortunately not, good old Great Britain. So internet suggestion would prob be best!
