Default Need A Good Graphic Card

I have a Dell Dimension 8400 with the XFX Geforce 9500gt 1gb graphic card.
The card seems to be running slow and hesitates. Can you tell me what would be a good graphic card for my PC? Thanks

Hey there Deuce!

Before you look at needing a different graphics card.. are you still running the 512Mb RAM that was factory installed?

What you describe is a memory issue, not so much the graphics card.

I'm sure our Talented Techs can get this resolved for you..

Please let us know and thank you for your patience

Thanks for responding Sir Trews.Yes i only have two 512 MB of Ram. I just ordered four 1GB of Ram. But i still would like to upgrade my Graphic card. I just need someone with knowledge of graphic cards to steer me in the right direction.

Hello Bluedeuce4, if you are indeed set on changing your graphics card, could you please tell us roughly how much you are looking to spend on it?

That way we can research the best card for your needs

Many thanks,

Smokeycheech
