I am am not very computer literate however I like to ask questions which generally helps so here goes: My first step is can anyone direct me to a program that will allow me to show the specs of my comp (copy paste) on to this forum so I can get some direction on what graphix card I need( I believe that is all I need atm) I have intergrated G41 chip set atm. Whaen I have that I will post my comp stats and ask for some advice (been told you need specific cards for certain poweer supply/motherboards ect), Thanks.

As a plus, it also can wipe your computer of all internet history and cookies so that no one can know what your browsing "proclivities" are (beware, it also deletes any passwords you have saved on your browser). edit: it's freeware so you don't have to pay anything for it and it won't "lock up" after X amount of days. Change isn't bad, but it isn't always good. Sometimes, the oldest and most simple of things can be the most elegant and effective.

It's configurable. You can also use Speccy for this, and it's more of a hardware monitor anyway. He who controls the veld, controls the universe.

Radius Prime Tax Evading Ass. 46	Posted - 2013.05.12 00:54:00 - [5] - Quote That thing is ancient. You are better off spending $300 on a new rig.. Even a cheap wallmart bought thing you buy today will beat this. Because of its age your motherboard wont be compatible with newer graphic cards. This means you will have to start checking for second hand graphic cards (often overclocked, about to fail since real humans don't have thermodynamics skill..) or old models still in stock. You Will pay more for old tech since they are often the last spares still in stock. Eve will run on almost anything built the last years. The quality of your experience however will depend on your rigs' visual prowess. Do yourself a favour and don't invest more money into this. It is rare for electronics to go up in price with age... unless you have an apple 1 or 2 in your garage toss em out. Reopen the EVE gate so we can invade Serenity. Goons can go first.

The next time I get a comp ill probably lay out about -ú500 so it should last. For the mean time I am just gonne get a graphics card to tide me over. The help was much appreciated ty.

[url]http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-260[/url] this link will get you to the site so you can check the specs. I don't know the dimensions of your PC so make sure to check the card size as to know it will fit. Your post didn't contain what power supply you are using so make sure to check that as well before ordering. o/ Reopen the EVE gate so we can invade Serenity. Goons can go first.

Don't know any other good shops in the UK but am sure they are around when you google. Reopen the EVE gate so we can invade Serenity. Goons can go first.

Cipher7 Sebiestor Tribe Minmatar Republic 11	Posted - 2013.05.12 11:52:00 - [12] - Quote I looked up your mobo, it's a PCIE x16 (probably 1.0 or 1.1) PCIE is designed to be backward and forward compatible (most of the time) so you can try a PCIE 2.x card it will just kick down to a lower bus speed, but still a big improvement over earlier cards and more importantly DX11 compatible. Amazon.uk would be a good place to shop, because you could always just return the card if it doesn't work. A more immediate concern is the power supply. Pop open the case and look at it, how many watts is it. If the PS supports at least 400 watts, you could try this card http://www.amazon.co.uk/Asus-Radeon-Graphics-PCI-Express-Dust-proof/dp/B004XANO24/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top As I said, it's amazon, you could always return it if it doesn't work, but %98 sure it will work fine if the power supply is 400w or higher.
Leanne Achasse Federal Navy Academy Gallente Federation 0	Posted - 2013.05.12 21:19:00 - [13] - Quote O.K. first thx alot peeps for your time it is much appreciated. I have just popped open my case and the PSU is 220 watts >.< and also to compound problems my tower case is quitw small also. I think I am going to struggle to find a graphics card to fit it. The starnge thing is that it does infact let me play (just about lowest specs ect) everything meets the recommended apart from the card if I could just get a card to meet the minium req's that will do me for now. In lightg of this new info does anyone have any other suggetions for me ? apart from get a new comp
