Eh, as long as it can run some old games, I'm happy with it. It's not like I'm gonna try Bioshock or Crysis on it.
Now, I have a question, and it may sound dumb or whatever, I don't know much about vidcards and that, but my dad's laptop has a NVidia card (forgot which model, he bought it around this time last year) and DVD's look cool, but Youtube vids run a lot more smoothly than my PC.
Is it my imagination or does a video card improves stuff like that? Say, I have a capturing card, sometimes when there's a lot of movement the recordings stutter, will it help in it's performance?
