Strange Repairs On Guarantee?

[InsaneRussian]

Well here is a funny story, i had problems with my comp, mostly graphic problems. Sometimes the screen went just black and i couldn't do much, i just puller outthe cabels and comp worked again. Until one they it didn't. I still had the guarantee on my comp so the repairs would cost nothing, i knew it was graphic card problems and i want a new one, better one so i could just buy one but i decided to turn it in cause it might have been something else then that. So they say it would take max 3 weeks, took me 2,5 and i got my comp back. I asked them before turning in, is it possible if i pay more moeny and you simply give me better graphic card? They said no you get exactly the same one as you had if it's graphic card that doesn't work. So now when i got my comp back i decided to check it out when is stil left and whats new. For 2.5 weeks the only thing they've done was to change my graphic card and nothing else. They said i would get exactly the same as i had, but thing is i got better one xD I had Nvidia GeForce 7500 LE, total crap. But now i got GeForce 7600 GT, so i wonder how much better is that lol? I know that 7500LE is very hard to find cause its total crap if you google it you only find complains on it xD
So people tell me how much better is GeForce 7600GT then GeForce 7500LE? Or maybe it's worse?

I don't know about the technical info of both those cards but of what I know the new card you have is quite abit better, play some games and then come back and tell us

lol Found little info on 7500LE myself, it's so bad that there is no info on it lol. On some forum somebody said that 7500LE uses the memory of your comp which is lots worse then when it uses it's own.
Plus when i was playing any game, ANY game i had temporarily lags of everything swiming. No matter low or high. Now i played BF2142 on medium and had no lags what so ever, with 7600GT. So im pretty happy with it. Although still planing on buying GeForce 8800GTX, cause new games requires graphic card from 8k series and lame ass vista ^^

WHOA! Slow down there jethro. You can't just BUY a 8800GTX. Not only are they 600 a peice, but they require a major power source and a PCI Express Motherboard. So unless you got all that covered. I'm sorry.

Well first time i played, i had no lag in game and no problems at all. Now when i start to play, after some time everything freezes and i have to do ctrl + Alt + Delete. So to me it seems that the time is equal every time and i wonder if it's the graphic card the freezes or them game. Cause i didnt encounter with this problem with old graphic card. Plus, is there any way to fix this crappy bug? Gona try later other games and seeif same thing happens. Anyhow why could this be happening?

P.S:

Well im not sure which i will buy, i got the money and i dont really need it right now. But i want a graphic card that can run DirectX10 and all Vista games that come out. Better be prepered for future.

Your best bet would be to buy a whole new computer if you don't really know what you're doing with computer hardware. There are lesser forms in the 8 series, like the 8400, but they are kind of weak.

So anyhow, i tried another game. Before that i tried BF2142 which froze up after some time. But BF2 didnt, so i wonder what could it be? I mean i was playing BF2 on medium graphics. So did i play BF2142, i know BF2142 requires better graphics but the game just freezes up after a while (BF2142). So i thought would could i do to stop this? I mean it's like after a time it freezes up and i cant do nothing. Maybe it's something wrong with the game? Or is it the graphics? Any ideas people?

Has shared memory.

It may also cause performance issues with the rest of the system if it is not designed with the fact that some RAM will be 'taken away' by graphics in mind.

For instance, my computer has 4 GB of memory. 1GB is shared with my video card having 512MB dedicated and 1GB shared, for a total of ~1512 MB (unfortunately, haven't had the time to test if it made a difference since I set it).

Shared Memory

Well i got the game fixed, found out that a little scrath caused me all the problems with the game. To solve this problem, my friend recommanded me to use Tooth Paste and Towel to pollish the scratch xD It worked.
