Radeon 9250 128mb pci graphics card ( unfortunatly I had to reinstall the operating system - so the drivers will need downloading from the internet ) but i will try to find the disc for it.
There is an onboard shared graphics

mouse keyboard and either a usb wireless adapter or an internal pci wireless adapter to conenct to the web also speakers for sound

thanks got mouse and keyboard etc comes with it . whats the wireless usb thing or internal one ?

Hello,you could buy a wireless adaptor USB,some people call it a blue tooth dongle.D-Link is in expencive and can do the job fine.

D-Link USB

A lttle more RAM would speed her up.If you have operating system disk then a fresh install would make sure she was clean and get all your updates will help her run smoothly.

ok think i get u now seems simple enough though i would have to get a card thing to put inside pc so it picks up router thats wot we had to do a couple of years ago with sons but it seems less tenical now

Yes it is less technical now.You just plug it into a USB port then put in disk that came supplied with it and install the drivers.This is much cheaper and simple.

Then make sure tour wireless router is set to share the connection.Run network setup wizaed on the new computer.

No you do not need to buy a wireless card for inside computer.

Either use cable connect to the wirless router or the USB wireless adaptor.

brill seems a lot easier . also have one more concern he put something about graphics which i have pasted for u could u tell me wot this is about and how it afects pc:- Radeon 9250 128mb pci graphics card ( unfortunatly I had to reinstall the operating system - so the drivers will need downloading from the internet ) but i will try to find the disc for it.
