    Ok well, I got a really ----ty pc with intergrated video card on it. Some kinda SiS one..

    If I got the card below, would it increase performance at all if its only used for like, IM, internet, email, some programs, etc... maybe photoshop but idk if that computer can take that program at all..

    There might be a tiny performance boost from the integrated.. I can't see it being too noticeable though.

    Defenatly no boost in normal programs. Only in 3D. Make sure when buying new VGA, it'll fit in your mobo.

    Ahh o well.
    I dont feel like buying new ram for it, but i'll do that eventually.. it's not even my responsibility really, i dont use that pc, my sister/parents do..mostly sister, so i'd be helping them out...

    if youre only wanting to use like im, internet, photoshop and stuff like that i dont see why an integrated wouldnt be fine for that, but if you want it to go faster, id add like 512 mb, or 1 gig of ram to it
