Intel Integrated Video Card?

I'm aware the card is inside the motherboard, however, that would mean that I would be able to make an adjustment to how this video card performs, not internally, but settings within the motherboard. Someone of experience, because I am not experienced, please explain to me how I can adjust the settings of my video card?

Intel 82845/GL/GE/PE/GV Graphics Controller Version 6.14.10.3943 - name of my graphics driver.

( I had sent 2 PM's to people, and they weren't useful at all. They didn't even respond to my PM to them. )

However, if anyone could be helpful here, could you give me some suggestions? Thank you.

There's a sticky about this at the top of the forum. Read that and afterwards if you need help we're here to help.

You're one of the people I sent the PM too..

Anyways, I'm aware that it's at the top of this page, however, it doesn't resolve my problem. I want to know what people mean when they say change the 64 MB to 128 MB within the motherboard.

You have to go into your BIOs. When you boot up you have to hit F2 (or whatever YOUR system' key for getting into your BIOs is).

With in there is a area to change your AGP Aperture from 68Mb to 128Mb.

EDIT: What I do in BIOs is this...I only change ONE thing at a time before I "Save & Exit".
This way if there is a problem you can go back (usually) and change it back.

Also...I NEVER use the DEFAULT FACTORY SETTINGS...EVER!

Great, thanks. I've found the AGP Aperture, however, the graphics are getting no better. Are there any other options to perhaps enhance the graphics, without buying a video card?

Only Drivers!! they will not help all that much. Sorry...you need a Slotted Video Card to get some real "Kick"

to be honest intel extreme graphics are anything but.

one important thing to tell us is the amount of memory you have (128MB,256 MB, 512MB )

if less than 512 you are being hurt badly as the intel graphics chip is using system memory to do the graphics and win xp takes up most of 256 easily so sharing hurts.

if you get a cheap video card (AGP if your motherboard has an AGP slot) you gain both ways.

you free up system ram for the game

you have a much faster video card by comparison.

I have 512 MB Memory. And, I had opened up my Dell the other day and saw a slot for an AGP Unit. However, I don't know where to buy them. Maybe radioshack? I have a good card, see, its just too big to go into my dell, and plus, I would need to buy an AGP Slot Unit to fasten into the Board.

What is a good, cheap, video card?

not radioshack on a dare

http://www.newegg.com/

has had top reseller ratings for years, good prices, and good selection.

prices range from 50 dollars to 1000+ (sli)

give us a ballpark budget figure and we can help

75 dollars runs it great
50 dollars much better than you have now
125-150 runs super

edit

what card are you talking about being too big?

Well, I don't know exactly what the card is, but I do know it is a video card. It fits into the AGP unit in the other computer, of which I had removed the video card. The card says FC on it. I'm assuming that's a company of some sort. I wish I could give you more details.

It also says WinBond on the black chips on the video card.

Oh, here's something. - Elsa Gladiac MX AGP 32MB ATX - I'm assuming this card isn't even any better than my Intel, which is 64MB.

Oh, and currently, I wouldn't spend anymore than 75 bucks on a video card.

here is the 50-75 range.

avoid anything with LE SE LS in the name as those are junk.

almost anything here is much better than what you have and any of them will free up system ram

Okay, thank you very much.

What I do is take a Vid Card name and model number and put it in a google bar with the word REVIEWS after it....Then make an informed decision. I would stay away from the lower Nvidia 6XXX ones and all of the Nvidia 5XXX ones.
A Nvidia 6600GT would be pretty decent for you.

Alright, thanks to you as well. I will keep that suggestion in mind.

Ok...Loviatar I believe has a 6600GT and he likes it very much.

Ha. Well, maybe I should look into that video card then.

I think most Integrated cards have a maximum memory usage anyway.

Also i've just discovered this "bios" thanks to this thread and I have a few questions

My target cpu temp is 50 degrees C and my temp is about 45 with an rpm of 1500. Should i increase that or lower it or is it alright?

Also, my target is the same for my case temp only it's at about 35 degrees C with an rpm around 900. Should I change that?

my cpu fan tolerance is 3/5. Should I change that?

Dont mean to go too much off topic here just didn't want to make a whole new thread for some simple questions.
