My graphics card is killing my computer. It's a long story, so I will put a TL;DR at the bottom... So a couple months ago I got Metal Gear Solid for PC. When I played, I realized all my fonts turned bold. On my entire computer. So my immediate solution was to copy all the fonts from my...

Okay thanks.

My computer has a crap cpu, an Intel Pentium 4. It's dual core, and it lags when I play newer games like Starcraft 2 and Crysis 2 demo. I recently looked into an Alienware m11x gaming laptop, and saw that it also contained a dual core processor, but it could run new games fine. Is the problem...

Okay thank you so much for all of your help! I really appreciate it.

Okay and by me buying all this crap and installing it my games shouldn't lag correct? I want to play Splinter Cell Conviction with zero lag, so I ran a check on this website to see if it should run. The only red X I got was my CPU meaning the rest of my computer was sufficient. So if I install...

The box says it is 450 watts.

Okay so so far my shopping list is: Newegg.com - CORSAIR 2GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 Desktop Memory Model VS2GB1333D3 G [Memory] Newegg.com - ASUS M4A77TD AM3 AMD 770 ATX AMD Motherboard [Motherboard] Newegg.com - AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition Deneb 3.2GHz 4 x 512KB L2 Cache 6MB L3...

Does different memory change between model or is it all pretty much the same besides speed?

So can the motherboard you sent me support the DDR2 memory I have or do I have to buy new DDR3?

I'm not sure about make or model or anything but it's DDR2 and I think 67 mhz.

The CPU I am going to buy once I get a motherboard is the AMD Phenom II X4 955 3.2 GHz NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT [Display adapter] Acer AL1706 [Monitor] Optiarc DVD RW AD-7170A [Hard Drive] Just let me know if I should post anything else. I got all this information from Belarc Advisor.

If I gave you a list of my hardware, could you see if it all fits into the motherboard you sent me? (Newegg.com - ASUS M4A78LT-M AM3 AMD 760G HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard)

Alright so let me get this straight. The GPU is my graphics card; my NVIDIA Geforce 9800 GTX? The PCI is where I install hardware onto my motherboard, and the heatsink sits on top of hardware to cool it down?

What is a GPU or a heatsink? Or a PCI slot? Thanks for replying so soon
