    Help in choosing a graphics card

    I upgraded my existing monitor to a 20 inch samsung (B2030) but i am unable to play high res videos smoothly. While playing the video either slows down or hangs.

    Following is my existing sys config
    P4,2 Gb Ram,Geforce 8400GS 512 MB PCI Card,
    Unfortunately no PCI express or AGP slot on my Mboard (Intel 915GVWB)

    I'm now planning to upgrade my CPU.with a new board and processor.Plz suggest me a good PCI-express graphics card that would render 1080p & 720p videos seamlessly on my 20 inch monitor.

    Thanks in advance

    Before planning to upgrade motherboard or cpu I will suggest you to install the latest version of DirectX version on your pc. If you want to check your directx version installed on your pc, then go to run and type dxdiag, from here you will get the full information. If you are using Windows XP then the latest version of DirectX version to be installed is DirectX version 9.0C, if you are onto vista or Windows 7 then you will have to install DirectX version 10 or 11. You can also try to install K-Lite Codec pack, to solve the lag problem. If this is already installed and running fine, then please let us know whats you budget or purpose of using video card, in case if it is required.

    Do upgrade the drivers for the Video card that you have installed, This may help you out to get the issue to sort well. I hope it will then make the necessary ailments to work out.
