Dude, www.tigerdirect.com Search for graphics cards. Now whether or not you know which type to buy for your computer specifically is another story.

Ok, I'm helping you through PMs already. Also, can you stop making multiple of threads? For one, it's starting to annoy the hell out of me. It's also help us know what you are trying to do instead of searching multiples of threads. Noticed how the first three person here is already don't understand what you are try to do? And Bob...He is not asking for us to look for a graphic card - what he is really looking for is the driver for it.

Find your PCI express/PCI express 2.0 slot and put it in there. Depending on what type of graphics card, you may also need to hook power cables from the power supply to it. If he can't find the driver, he needs to first go find out which type of cards he has first (nVidia or ATI) and just look it up on their website.

Just what type of graphics card do you have? Jeez, if you don't even know what's running in your machine, you shouldn't even be playing games till you educate yourself on it. Otherwise it's really to mess up your computer without knowing.

... Nvm. Just download and install the first one >> Run it >> Go to Display and then GPU Tell me what it say for the Video Adapter. Also, go to Start >> Right-Click on Computer >> Properties and tell me what if it's 32-bit or 64-bit. Give me those two info, and I'll find it for you.

Lol why don't you just tell him to run dxdiag and it'll tell you what type of chipset he has in his computer? Lol. Quite easy, actually: Click Start--> Click Run Type in "dxdiag" without the quotes. Go to "Display" tab and tell us what the "device name" is. Btw, you running Windows XP or Vista?

[/quote] The reason why I'm not telling him to go to the DirectX Diagnostic Tool window is because he just reformatted and have not install his driver. If you don't have the driver install, it will not tell you what graphic card he has. It will either come back as N/A or Standard VGA Display Adapter. Edit: above: And any of the mirrors is fine. Pick one.
