I am looking for a graphics card which can run vista aero easily and will cope with just basic things really. I may start gaming soon but am new to this so when suggesting bare in mind something which might cope with basic gaming. I havent got a lot of money to spend but any suggestions would be much appreciated.

As you can see im new to all this and your help will be appreciated

Thanks
 
Thanks for replying so soon. Im looking at spending max dno probs 35. Would like a (PCI-Express) and a dvi output if possible. Graphics cards are one thing with computers i dont no much about. So Thanks for your help.
 
*** does it mean when it says can support upto 1gb memory. How can you increase memory of it. Sorry if i sound stupid but not sure on graphics.

Thanks
 
Also forgot to mention. Wonder if you know. At the moment im using a pretty poor graphics card. With vista running on it, it copes but the one problem i not sure if can be changed. The start menu and all the screen is very small. ie the writing and the internet browser layout etc. I can screen shot if u like. Is this affected by the graphics card and or resolution.

Just go to control panel > display > settings> and change the resolution to make it bigger e.g.... 800 x 600

It has 1gb of memory built in so it can handle quite a bit for that kinda £

Any idea of what card you have in there now? it should say in control panel > display > settings
 
Erm it is a pci graphics card. An analog one. It called nvidia geforce fx5200. And the problem with changing the resolution is that it goes reli blurry when u do. That my problem. Wondered if changing the graphics card would stop that.

Thanks for replying
 
Erm i think ive solved that problem by changing the dpi settings. The graphics card you suggested though it says it has 256mb memory but can support upto a 1gb. Dont understand this wonder if you could explain. many thanks
