firstly... get your os under control...... reduce its resource requirements.... http://www.blackviper.com

then make sure your not infected with any pesky spyware running in the background

use adaware and spybot

if the problem still exists then look for a newer card.

i think the new ati's should be sufficient check the 2600 pro perhaps call a local shop and ask if that would be sufficient.|||Nvidia Geforce 8600 GTS. Price <$150.00|||VisionTek - ATI RADEON HD2400PRO AGP Graphics Card

There are 3 types.

PCI-E - Express - NEWEST TYPE

AGP - Andvanced Graphics Port - 2nd newest

PCI - Peripheral component interconnect -



Your pc will probably take PCI-E or AGP. You could look in your mother boards manual for more information. Then look online at a computer store for prices.
