What are Computer Video Cards?
Basically, the video card on your PC controls what you see on your monitor screen. Depending on the configuration of your computer, you should have some room for a better card. The upgrades you buy will be in the form of a computer chip board that can be placed in an expansion slot. So what’s the difference between video cards? It is the speed of the RAM memory that allows your applications to run more efficiently. Better PC video performance results from faster chip and memory speed. It also follows that the higher performing cards (like DDR types) will cost more out of your pocket. For serious PC gamers, this is important since choppy, slow graphics can take the fun out of playing that intense new title. Computer video cards not only are useful for games and software applications, but are great for hooking up a large TV, DVD player or VCR to your PC. RCA video or S-video in/out plugs also come with the card for easy setup.
