What is the video card?
The video card is a circuit
board that contains all the necessary circuitry for displaying the picture on your
monitor. It usually is a separate card that fits into one of your
motherboard's slots, but sometimes this circuitry is incorporated into the
motherboard itself.
When buying a new video card it is very important to "match" it to your monitor. If you've got a fancy new video card and a puny
monitor, you just won't be able to view the wonders of your card that you paid good money for. It is a good idea to buy the video card first, then buy a suitable
monitor. Better yet, buy the
monitor and the card as a set so they will be perfectly matched.
