Looking for a new graphics card?

Posted on November 18, 2009 at 07:58 CST by woody • Comment in the Forums

If you’re upgrading that old XP PC so it’ll run Windows 7, you probably need a new graphics card. (Details on what you need to get and how to get it are in Windows 7 All-In-One For Dummies.)

NVIDIA has just announced a tremendous Win7 card, called the GT 240. For less than a hundred bucks, you can buy a hefty, DirectX 10.1 capable video card – exactly what you need to bring Win7 to life on an older PC.

Personally, I have one remaining XP computer, and I’m going to buy a GT 240 card this week.
