I suspect there'd be no noticeable improvement. (I assume your PC currently has a reasonably recent video card, not just an on-the-motherboard graphics chip that shares system memory.) John asked the first key question -- are the graphics on a network server? Assuming they're on your PC, how much RAM does it have? More RAM would almost certainly make far more difference than a faster graphics card. You should have at least a gigabyte. If you have lots of large graphics, adding a second gig would be worthwhile. A very slow hard drive could also be a factor, but that's unlikely with a reasonably current PC (you do defrag regularly, right?). HTH! Richard ------ Richard G.
