A video card with at least 256MB is what it probably wants. nVidia and ATI chips both populate 256MB video cards. nVidia's are made by all kinds of companies, some well know, some not. ATI cards are both branded and OEM, like Diamond. You should be able to score a used nVidia or ATI 256MB card for chump change these days, as the world has definitely moved on from AGP 8x to PCI-Express... Ben Myers

Ben Myers Thanks how about drivers that was a big problem and maybe the main one with my card. I couldn't get win 7 tried vista but it never looked sharp always blurry.

One hopes that their Windows 7 Professional advice is better than their IE 8 advice. Neither the IE 8 Outreach Team nor the new Windows 7 Professional Outreach Team are affiliated with Microsoft.
