dude, you need a new video card. It's not about the memory of the video card, it's the processing speed of the video card.
That's why I would neve recommend buying a HP/Dell/Gateway etc 'cookie cutter' gamign system, they put just enough in there to say they are gaming pc's but they don't really have what you really need.
If I am not mistaken HP uses ECS motherboards. I would never build a Gaming PC without an Abit or an Asus Motherboard, they are just made better
What is the model number? Specs? I don't play pc games, but the last time I did play one, was a rig I had setup in my office, I had Hitman 2 (when it just came out) and Uneal Tournment. To play these games, I had to go out and get, actually, just take out the inventory room
, an ATI 9800 Pro, and this is about a year and a half, 2 years ago, when it was pretty freakin new. It would run on my older video card, an Nvidia 5200 but the video was choppy and not as clear.
Also, memory. Again, this is just ME, but if you are going to have a gaming PC, memory is extremely important. I would recommend Corsair, and not that value select **** either.
The amount of memory doesn't mean ****, or at least very much above ****, unless it's good memory.
512MB of Good Corsair memory can run any game on the market, but I wouldn't put less than a gig.
also, what type of monitor do you have?
Give me the specs of the pc, maybe I can help you out in more detail. If you can give me the model number, I can look up the motherboard.
