Well I have a major problem because guild wars runs all laggy and choppy when it turns on. Is this a problem with my video card? If so..How do I check my specs on my video card.
Need some advice, or maybe a link to somewhere that I can download a driver that will make it run smoothly
Problems! Need Help! Please!

Right click on your Desktop. Click on Properties. Then click on Settings. Then click on Advanced. Then click on Adapter. This will show you your Video Card.
Also you should know how to get into your Device Manager.
Go to Start Button. Click on Settings. Then Control Panel. Then System.
Look closely and click on Device Manager. You will see all your system's components. If you see any Yellow "?" or "!" then you have a problem with those devices. This area will also tell you what Processor you have and also you can see you Video card,Sound card,Hard drives,CD/DVD drives, etc.
EDIT: Also, has this happened since the last big update? If that is the case, it might be that. I just upgraded my new computer to 2GB ram. I have a 4mbs cable connection. I have a decent vid card, and last night I was seeing Lag for the first time in a long time.
And how much memory do you have? To see that info real easy like, when you have a Windows Program open...go to Help(Top of the Page next to Tools), then About Windows. At the bottom of that box it will show you how much Ram you have.

you can download a program called Aida 32 or one called Everest Home that will tell u everything u want to know about your system.
www.aumha.org is a website u can get these from. They are free.

okay well it is an NVIDIA RIVA TNT2 MODEL 64
Memory size: 32 mb
It says that it has 41,920kb of memory free, and 130,124 total. So If 41,920 is not enough and 130,124 is, then it could be cool to know how to free some memory up
THANKS
Will this card work, and once again, please tell em how to clear some memory
