  hi all,
  
  i'm not good with computers and stuff so i need some help here.
  
  anw, i just got a new comp which has an intel 82945g (251mb) on it. i tried playing games like cs and dod, but the performance was very bad. on the other hand, i've got a geforce 4 440mx (64mb) in my old comp and it runs them better than the intel one although it has lower memory.
  
  why is this so? and should i fit it in instead?
  
  btw, the the comp is about 1gb ram, running on intel p4 3.2ghz, vista 32bit.
  
  thanks.

  Vista?
  
  Sorry to tell you, but Vista will immediately kill it.
  
  Get a better external graphics card - either first hand or second hand if you are tight on budget.

  Of course a GeForce Mx 440 would be better than the Intel integrated graphics card.
  
  A GeForce Mx440, although having only 64MB or RAM, is dedicated to video rendering. It is built solely for video processing.
  
  Intel integrated graphics on the other hand, is just a chip in the motherboard. It shares your onboard RAM to render graphics and is generally inferior to a dedicated graphics card in all aspects.
  
  Hope that helps.

  the geforce is faster due to it running on xp or an earlier version. on the other hand, if the intel graphics card is used on xp, it will be better than the geforce
