Which game can Intel G33 G31 Express Chipset Family run?

Starcraft 1. Probably some stuff made more than 10 years ago. I think I've run Jedi Knight dark forces II, and maybe Morrowind. Not to mention minesweeper, duh.

For FPS check out Cube 1, or maybe some older versions of Sauerbraten (cube 2) will work, lots of people play that online.

Look for some sites that review good freeware games, but not arcade style, unless you want that. "indie" games are usually good.

How do you decide which expansion card is the video card?

The main way to tell which expansion card is the video card is to look at the plug. If it has a VGA socket, a display port socket, HDMI, etc., then you will know it is a video card. You may identify some of the chips on the card as being RAM, or you might find a fan on it, but these features are not exclusive to video cards. If that is the place where you plug your monitor, then it is a video card, unless of course you are plugging directly into the motherboard.

Why might you install multiple monitors on a system?

Is a graphics card memory?

Well the driver will take up very little hard drive space depending on the video card. Now all video cards have built in memory (RAM) but after the ammount that is on the video card runs out. It will start using the RAM on your computer. Just depends on the game you are trying to run. Also your Proccessor, RAM and Video Card all work together for running games. Hope this helped :)

Which motherboard is best for graphics software?

This is a tough question to answer for a couple of reasons. First off: There are a lot of motherboards to choose from and there isn't really 1 out there that is absolutely the best. Intense graphics design requires some of the best hardware you can get and the motherboard is only 1 of many things to decide on. The Video Card, Processor and RAM are probably the most important things you will need to choose. The higher the frequency of the FSB (Front Side Bus) the less likely it will be a bottleneck for your graphics. If you are willing to pay a lot of money for a really nice system I could suggest some kind of dual processor board, a PNY video card, and a lot of fast RAM. A good recourse for motherboards is www.mbreview.com There you will be able to find some excellent reviews on the latest motherboards. Some of my favorite brands are AOpen, Chaintech and MSI. They seem to be very reliable.

Asus, Gigabyte and Intel are three very good mb makers. If you're looking for extreme high-end, Gigabyte has a new MB with FOUR x16 slots, taking SLI to a new level.

If you are looking at using Vista, it's the video card(s) that need the attention, because available RAM is limited to less than 4MB, so the big factor is to get onboard (unshared) memory on your graphics card -- you don't want shared memory, which is going to subtract from RAM available to the CPU. With Win7, this is less of a problem.

If you like AMD, the Gigabyte GA-MA790GP-UD4H looks pretty good on the high end. It has 128mb of "side-port" memory that, as I understand it, is dedicated to graphics. I don't think it's a bit deal but it is a plus.

What is another name for a video card?

What is the purpose of an AGP slot?

AGP (accelerated graphics port) slots are special slots on the motherboard specifically designed to take a graphics card (or video card as they're often called).

In recent years AGP has been replaced by the PCI-express standard (or PCI-e as they are often referred to) and thus AGP is generally considered an obsolete format. Even so, AGP hardware is still available, but often at an increased cost & with decreased performance.

AGP slots came in a few different speeds. The most common of which was 4X and 8X slots. 8X slots could utilize higher performance 8X cards. A 4X slot is limited to only 4X cards. However, many 8X cards have the capability to be used in a 4X slot, this will usually be denoted in the specifications of the card.
