what info are you looking for that would determine if you want a new card?

you can't. go to hardware props or display props.. just find out what card it is and we'll tell you, specs aren't everything. Also, the radeon 9000 isn't very good.

I am not sure if this is the one
I go to display setting and it shows
display:
Default monitor on Intel(r) 82810E Graphics Controllers

I am thinking about building a new PC
Does any one know what is the best (performance/affordable) motherboard, CPU, video card, and hard drive today?

Thanks

I am looking at a list of motherboard, there are so many brands
e.g ASUS / ABIT / EPOX / INTEL / MSI / SUPERMICRO / TYAN / ECS / VIA / GIGI-BYTE /
Which one is better?

Thanks

yea.. that video sucks.. and mobo's are usually opinion, here's mine. NEVER get an intel board, asus for non-overclockers, abit for overclockers. For some reason i keep getting asus when i should get abit. ECS just sucks.. that 9000 would be an improvement over what you have now, but what are your other comp specs?
