I figured out what is wrong with my computer.

[seb619]

So i finally figured it out...My graphics card that i had installed for 2 years, and was made in like..waht..2001..2002...basially the shittiest graphics card any1 has ever had has finally DIED, THUS, i am forced to buy a new graphics card.
The graphics card is called Nvidia Geforce2 Mx/Mx 400, and it was so fucking shitty that if i played a 2005 game like counterstrike:CZ, it would have to be played with lowest settings, HECK! even Diablo 2:Lord of Destruction had to be played in lowest settings, how fucking sad is that?

so i present to you guys two dillemas:

1) im 15 and a half and i need a job to buy my card which will cost anywhere from $80-$350, and i also will buy (not download lol) moar RAM since im upgrading the ol' comp anyways. So basically i need a few job ideas where some1 of my age can work. I look older than 15 so appearance isnt a problem

2) Im not sure what kind of graphics card i want to buy. Ive seen a few i think id like at Staples, and they have good reviews, but ill need all your guys's help to let me choose the best 1.

So basically, right now i have 512 Mgb. of RAM but im looking to make it 1gb-2gb of RAM. I have the shitty graphics card, but im looking to upgrade it to a better card (My Comp. DOES allow BOTH Agp and Pci Cards, so type isnt a problem, compatibility is)

I dont know how to show all my systems info, so if some1 can show or tell me how to do so, so you guys can help me upgrade whatever needs upgrading that would be great.

IMO look for local computer stores and look around for the cheapest prices
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814103051
$169.99
($109.99 after $60.00 Mail-In Rebate)
$60 rebate! The brand is Diamond which isn't as well known as ASUS, EVGA or XFX but it has good reviews on the website.
Ram is really cheap now days($30 for 1 Gig), you can check what type you are using by opening up your PC case and reading the sticker on the Ram(BUT)<<<
1. Be sure to unplug the power and leave the PC off for a minute
2. Remove the side panel and DO NOT be tempted to use a vaccum to clean the dust (damp paper towel is fine on the PC case)
3. Touch the PSU(power supply box) or keep one finger on it to get rid of static that WILL be harmful to the components inside your PC
4. Do not unplug anything inside the computer unless you know what you are doing
5. Release both side levers of the Ram to take out the Ram stick to write down the info, after push the Ram back into place and close the levers making sure that Ram is sitting normal
