Inspiron 1525 Graphics Card

Soviet_Rebel · 07-19-2009, 07:52 PM

I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 and I wanted to get Warhammer Online, but I need a better graphics card, but I don't know anything about that stuff so does anyone know any cards that will work for my computer?

How much memory do you currently have installed?

Soviet_Rebel · 07-19-2009, 08:25 PM

I have 118 GB of used space on my hard drive, I don't know if that's what you wanted but...

Actually your physical memory AKA "RAM" is what I was referring to and the reason being is this laptops generally don't have upgradeable graphics subsystems the graphics are integrated into the motherboard, and shares RAM with the OS and all the other apps.

So your best bet might just be to upgrade your memory if you are not already at your system's capacity.

My laptop has 3.00 GB of RAM, but I don't know how to check how much I have used. Also, the main problem I was having with WAR was the framerate. Will more RAM fix that?

More RAM would at time fix frame rate issues but that is when the memory upgrade is a little more dramatic then yours would be since you already have 3 GB of RAM installed and can only upgrade to 4 GB if you have a 32 bit system in which XP would only recognize approx 3.4 GBs of the 4.

No i don't have 3.00 GB of RAM installed, I don't know how to check that, but thank you for your input, I really appreciate it.

Sorry I thought you had the 3 GB of RAM as stated above.

Please hit Ctrl,Alt,Delete at the same time to bring up task manager now click on performance and what is listed as "Total" under physical memory?
