ok i am a very very Very big command and conquer fan but each time i put in the first decade (one of the games) my computer shuts down. i think i just need a new sound/video card becuase mine is very old. i dont have directX or anything like it and im not even shur if i have one please HELP.
I need help finding sound and video cards?
You need to get Direct X. You can download it here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads Most issues with video games are video related. It's difficult to recommend a specific card without knowing your rig - especially if it's an older one and does not have certain video card slot. A great place to get reviews on video cards is at http://www.maximumpc.com/ I use them because they balance price/performance, and have an entire section on upgrading older machines. Good luck.
Reply:directx is simply a collection of application programming interfaces (APIs) for handling tasks related to multimedia, especially game programming and video, on Microsoft platforms, without directx you would not be able to play games, music or videos so you are bound to have directx installed on your system.
if you want to buy a sound or graphics card then it is best to look for online stores that sell these hardware, but by judging your question your knowledge of computer hardware is not very good, i advise that you study computer components and computer building before you attempt to update anything inside your system
Reply:get directx first, then play with changing hardware. you really should have checked the game's requirements first. if your motherboard is that old you need to make sure that the cards will even work first..
Reply:sound card card shouldnt make too much diference. get 8800gt video card
