I'm more looking for your mystry card... If itis infact a gpu, buying another one could be just a waste of money.
A mystry card? care to explain?I'm more looking for your mystry card... If itis infact a gpu, buying another one could be just a waste of money.
Well, I've been told both things. People who tell me the AGP will improve, are aware of how old my CPU is, yet they still tell me it would help some.If I am not mistaken, Flash media is heavy on the CPU, even when you have a good GPU on your system. A t-bird is VERY old, basically, P3 era, and just won't hold up to todays online tasks.
You can try adding a larger GPU since your integrated apparently has 16mb of memory, it may help, but as far as youtube, it most likely will not help, at all.
A dedicate card can help in your case when watching other media formats that depend a bit more on your GPU, but your problem is just a dated system running modern software I feel. I don't think it would hurt to try a better dedicated card since apparently yours was removed, but as posted earlier, a picture of the internals to make sure of what hard ware you have would help us make sure something isn't a bit off.
