A: move on from windows 98 (not much support left for this OS (operating system)

B: this is the cheapest at best buy this is a 'PCI' card... that is what you must look for if building off your current pc.
I would look into invest in a newer computer. if you would like help. let me know.

Re: IT question: Graphics card

I just spoke with an IT guy here and he told me the same thing. Sad thing is I REALLY cant afford a computer right now.

But FH promised me a new computer after the wedding. Sigh, I guess I'll just have to wait until then.

thanks for the advice, though. I really appreciate it.
