I want 2 play this “Combat Arms” game but I lag a lot. It either has to do with my graphics card or RAM, but leaning more towards the card. What would be the best graphics card to acquire that’s affordable and lets me play this game?

Recommended:

GeForce FX 5600 graphics card or better
Pentium 4 – 2.4GHz+

What I have:

Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family display adapter (same as video card?)
Processor- Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU T2310@1.46Ghz (I guess I have 2 of them)

I know this was long and I am sorry. If I need anything else, please email me at “haltrman93@yahoo.com”. Thanks and Merry Christmas to ya =)
Oh yea, and the computer is a year old Compaq and that’s it. I can’t understand how it could be “out-of-date” so quickly. I hate money…

I ask because some of the certifications I looked up online seem to imply that the people going for them are people already in the IT field and are just looking to upgrade, but I am looking for something to help someone that is somewhat of a newbie when it comes to computer technology.

Thank you for any and all help and advice.

Would the PC be able to handle this card? I’m not interested in building my own computer, I’d much rather buy a prebuilt one.
My budget is around $600-$700 USD.
I’m usually playing games that involve the Source engine, such as Counter-Strike Source and Team Fortress 2.
Would the graphics card fit the PC? I’ve heard NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT was fairly big. And also would I need to upgrade the PSU on the desktop for the video card?

About two days ago, my laptop started acting a bit weird. Sometimes it would run slow, then fast again. All internet, programs, and software would randomly close down. And I even had two instances where two windows in the internet opened up though I did not click on them.

Now I’m basically a newbie when it comes to computers but I checked out the task manager and for the programs I did not know about, I searched for them. There was one, taskeng.exe, which is said to be important enough for Windows so I don’t really have my doubts about it, but I searched in my Computer for the file name taskeng.exe and came up with 8. They weren’t *running* but they are files. I have one in System32 and one in SysWOW64, I’m not sure if that’s supposed to happen. Also two in windows–>winsxs. The other 4 are MUI files and seem to correspond with the exe files I mentioned before.
I didn’t have much of ANY protection before my computer started to act up. So now two days ago I downloaded AVG and Malware. They didn’t pick up on anything.

So, do I probably have a virus? I think I probably have something since it just started acting like this out of the blue. What do I do on figuring out what it is and what to do with it?
Alright, I’ll be trying out avira first, then avast. Let’s see if it works.
Alright, thanks so much.
I’ll go there, hopefully they can help.
