To put it simply, graphics cards produce graphics/picture so you can see things on a monitor. If it weren't for them, you couldn't see anything on your comp. ;)

Also, it depends on how you use your computer. Do you do alot of gaming? If so, then a new graphics card might be good. If you mostly just surf the web and such, then more RAM would be better.

Hope this helps. :)

Update Graphics card or add more RAM...

It really depends on what you use your computer for. If you aren't a hardcore gamer (if you're a hardcore gamer and you don't know what a graphics card does, there'd be something wrong with you...) so I'm gonna assume you're not a gamer (that doesn't mean you've never played a video game, just that you don't play them every second of every day). You'd get the most increase in performance with extra RAM. I had 128MB in my laptop (Win2000, P3 850MHz) and it was horribly slow, but after I stuck in 2 sticks of 256MB RAM and put it at 512MB, it ran a LOT smoother. I also upped the RAM in my 768MB RAM desktop to 1.5GB RAM, but I didn't notice as much of an improvement, although it was definitely better.

A graphics card is a device that renders images to your screen. If you only use your computer for browsing the Web, editing documents, email, IM, and other things that use simple graphics, even a dated graphics card will work just fine. Upgrading graphics cards only gives you a (huge) performance increase in 3d games, where you can get improved frames-per-second and run your games at higher resolutions (more detail) and higher filtering levels (clearer image), but if you don't use 3d applications much, it won't do anything for you.

they allow you to work with the monitor. they are the reason that you can see what you are doing on your computer. and yes, it is good to keep upgrading them. i would probably buy a new computer if its quite old.

What do Graphics cards do?

yes if you like to play demanding games!

If you only use computer for surfing and chatting than graphics shouldn't matter!
