Ok so I’m looking into buying a new graphics card for my computer, mainly because I need a new one that is going to be compatible with Sims 2 (My current graphics card isn’t supported.) and I need to know the following:
A. Need to know how to find out if a graphics card is going to be compatible with my computer.
B. What graphics card (I’ve been looking at a GeForce FX5200 on my local pc stores website for the past couple of days and it is a supported one) that is a supported card, would be good for playing sims 2.
Ok so I only need to know that one thing…

If its going to help, I have a PowerSpec 8921(I got it as a gift from my dad so I didn’t buy it.)
I know enough about my computer, but something like a graphics card is a little new to me, but I’m learning.

Answer by Ubiquity
Finf out whether youhave an AGP, PCI or PCIe slot.

Your first choice is PCIe, second in AGP, PCI is last.

If AGP, find out the AGP speed.

Otherwise, check the wattage on your power supply.

Now compare these 2 items to your cards required specs.

My mom must have accidentally clicked something, her graphics and font is now extremely tiny. She said something about flash player came on screen just before everything shrunk on her computer. I had no answer for her about returning font and graphics to normal size. This is consistent on every page she enters, they are all smaller.

Answer by Edwin Wei
do you mean everything on the desktop or in a browser because you mentioned “page”.
in a browser, just set the zoom to 100% to make it regular sized.

I recently bought a new game The witcher, now my computer is old but not that old. My graphics card is an WinFast A6600 GT , how much should i overclock it so it runs smoothly, or even runs at all (because it wont run for longer than 30 mins due to the low virtual memory) also any tips or links to overclocking would help. Cheers mate.

Best answer:

Answer by jim
It is bad for the video card only.

If the game won’t run more than 30 min then it is possible that the graphics card is over heating and it is not because of the clock speed.
If the graphics card is slow then a game should still run normally ‘except’ that the game will lag .

the best program for overclocking is rivertuner but it may not support every graphics card.

My computer is shutting itself down automatically doesn’t give me enough time to download or look at anything. How do I keep it open for awhile to download some antivirus programs?

Best answer:

Answer by Scottie
Go to a friend’s computer (or even the library) and download the antivirus and/or antispyware program to a CD and get it on your computer that way; you will have to update it when you install it to your computer, but you may have better luck that way since you will be dealing directly with the antivirus/antispyware server and not opening a browser – the virus or malware program can prevent you from downloading any antivirus programs from a web site once you are online – updating an antivirus program once installed is a different story.
