    YOu probably have an onboard video controller. Sharing 64MB of your memory (256-192=64MB).

    overclocking is making cpu go faster than it aws set to do, for example a 2.4ghz oc'd to 2.6ghz. but problem with that is cpu runs hotter to point of frying itself & could become unstable to the point of crashing. to overclock a cpu you have to play in bios the cpu voltage, frontside bus & ratio. what are you going to use computer for will determine what card to get

    go with either, your the 1 that has to determine which to buy AND pay for, not me/us. go thru the threads either above or below to see what other people say or show on their sig(bottom left corner of each post). it is like apples & oranges as i might prefer oranges to your apples
