| 173576 | 2003-09-08 00:43:00 | Ok Greg done that and it says " SIS 650 ". Is this the thing ? While I am at it what is a graphics accelerator and is it the same as a video card. And is it the same as an accelerated graphics port ? What a minefield of confusing terminology. Cheers...........heaton |

| 173577 | 2003-09-08 00:53:00 | what you have is onboard video. yes the graphics accelerator is the same as a video card. graphics port is how the video card connects to the pc. as for drivers check your motherboard manafactures web site or here (www.sis.com). however getting back to your Q your onboard video most likly won't support any dirctX 9 hardware features so i wouldn't worry to much about it. try updateing the drivers it may give an improvement. |

| 173578 | 2003-09-08 00:58:00 | Yeah Tweak's right - you'll need to check what make/model your motherboard is, then get the latest driver for it. Accelerated Graphics Port is the port for agp video cards, which you don't have. You may wish to consider upgrading your pc by buying a cheapish agp card (assuming the motherboard has an agp poert of course) A nice ATI Radeon 9000 can be had for as little as $130 | Greg S (201) | ||
