How to Find Out What Graphics Card You Have

Step 1:

Click on “Start”.

Step 2:

Within the “start” menu click on “Run”. Run can typically be found on the right beneath “Search”.

Step 3:

Once you have clicked on “Run” a small window will appear. Inside of the box in the small window type in “dxdiag”. Be sure to type in dxdiag without using quotation marks. Once you have typed in “dxdiag” click on “OK”.

Step 4:

The DirectX Diagnostic Tools window will open now. At the top of this window there will be quite a few tabs. Click on the “Display” tab.

Step 5:

Within the Display tab you will see information about your graphics card directly under “Device”.

Call of Duty 4

Well, even though we had to send back the Alienware ALX this week… I’m still pretty excited about getting my computer back. (Thanks Andy). So far I’ve installed ONLY the stuff I absolutely need on it. With that being said, I’m still able to run Call of Duty 4 on the computer with a NVIDIA GeForce 6600 and 1GB Memory and with my settings on low, the game does not run bad at all.

I still wouldn’t mind getting another gig of memory in this thing until I get a new computer which I really need. The Dell I have is now 5 years old. Think it’s about time for a new one.

Anybody have some DDR memory laying around they want to sell me?

Phish Attempt – They Can work a PC but can they spell?

I received this email earlier this morning and while normally would delete it, had to share it. I am not perfect, far from it in the spelling department but this was pretty funny. Check out the wonderful job this phisher did on the word tried. What else did they miss?
