Ok, I just got a new computer with "Intel G33/G31 Express Chipset Family" Video card and have now realized it is a **** video card. So im browsing google trying to find a decent card to update it to. So im asking what kind of video card should i upgrade to. If this helps, I have a 64-bit HP desktop computer, Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU, E5200 @ 2.50GHz, 6.00 GB. Help please!|||not only the onboard graphics X3100 is pretty weak, also the psu is when having an 5200 cpu. your opportunities for upgrading the graphics are very little if you don't want to upgrade the psu at the same time. my guess is that your computer has a 250W psu (what is enough to power an E5200 cpu and an onboard graphics).
the best dedicated graphics card you can get provided the motherboard has a pci-e x16 slot (what is very likely) is the ATI HD 4650 without upgrading the psu at the same time.

this graphics card is more than 15 times faster than that onboard graphics and is well affordable.
edit
get the driver from the official AMD/ATI site because the provided driver isn't up to date.

your computer seems to be the HP Pavilion a6712f. if this is true all my assumptions were correct and the suggested upgrade will work.|||Depends on what version of PCI Express you have, AND how much power your Power Supply Unit outputs, look at tigerdirect.com for video reviews and such and then compare their prices to newegg.com "bestbuy" is really expensive actually. To be really cool, see if you can get one of those video cards with 2 gpus on them, check evga.com for their lineups, the higher the number of memory, pipeline, shader model, directx version, fps, etc, except for time to refresh or something of the like, and price, the better.
