Q. I’m upgrading my pc from Win XP to Win 7 OS and need to get a new graphics card that has/supports DirectX 11. I don’t know what type graphics card is compatible with my machine, but it has the following:
1. Athlon64 4200 Dual Core (2.2Ghz) CPU
2. MSI K9N4 Ultra F motherboard , NVIDIA nForce 500 Chipset based with PCIe x 16 slot
3. Acer model P205H LCD monitor with 1600 x 900 resolution
I recently added more RAM to accommodate Windows 7, but now need to upgrade the graphics. I don't game; I mostly use my computer for financial management, photo editing and storage, and some web surfing. I'd also like to be able to stream movies. Please help me determine what kind/type of graphics card is compatible and meets these needs along with being under $150. Thank you!

A. What motherboard?
What kind of computer work requires a processor with a high clock cycle?
Q. Obviously not everyone uses their computer the same way. What kind of work would require a fast processor and what kind of work would simply require a high amount of RAM and a nominal processor?
Please be specific with examples like Photo Editing, Video Compression, Internet Searching, etc. Thanks!

A. Very high clockspeeds (>4gHz) = for benchmarking competitions.
High clock speeds (3.0gHz or higher) = for PC gaming with high-end cards, so as not to bottleneck the hi-speed graphics card.

Moderate clock speed (<3.0 gHz) but multiple cores like quad (or even dual quad) = Multi-threaded programs

The Core i7 (even at just 2.66gHz on the 920) and dual quad are hard to beat in image processing and video encoding. With Hyperthreading enabled, Core i7 virtually runs as an 8 core processor.
Multiple cores plus large RAM = Multiple simultaneous rendering like in Adobe After Effects CS4. Experts recommend 2GB RAM allocation per rendering thread.
