That’s all the information, so why am I lagging now? :l It’s a gaming computer…and my other one wasnt even gaming so this is a little ridiculous
Even multitasking is a little slow…*sigh* Is the graphics really that bad? Im sure my other computer was much worse, it wasnt even a gaming computer…but it ran fine when it came to games. :/
Whats the cheapest i can get a graphics card for?
