Do I need a video card

[Gregg]

I am working with an Athalon XP 2800, 512MB, 160GB, DSL
machine.

I have an integrated video card, should I upgrade? I have
an open AGP slot. But, I am not really a gamer. I use it
for web, work and the ocasional DVD. Am I really missing
that much that it would be worth the upgrade?

Greetings

I would only buy a new card if you are having problems playing DVD's. Many
AGP cards will offer hardware acceleration while viewing DVD's. Other than
that no real reason to upgrade.

If you aren't much of a gamer I don't think you should upgrade. Wouldn't be
worth it IF you are satisfied with your current setup. If you had a game
you couldn't live without and your integrated video couldn't handle it, it
would be time to reconsider.
