Downloading

You have not realised the internet's true potential unless you have discovered the world of downloading. There are some broad types:

Legitimate and Fun, Fast, Safe downloads:
These are the kinds of downloads which are usually released by software manufacturers themselves. They include trial versions/demo releases of software and games, and also free and/or open source software like VLC Media Player, GOM Player, Mozilla Firefox etc. You are never under any kind of legal threat while downloading these files, unless you reverse-engineer them or something.

RapidShare, And such File sharing sites:
These websites usually contain illegal and copyrighted software and are made up of around 70% of dead links. They usually occur in parts, all of which have to be downloaded to use the files.

Torrents and P2P:
The absolute heaven for any downloader, these use sharing of files between various users, where anyone can upload and anyone can download.

Graphics Cards

They are the bread and butter of any PC that hopes to do serious gaming (i mean, running games like Prince Of Persia: Warrior Within on full graphics...). It's a fundamental rule of gaming:
Always keep a good Rs 5k back to invest on a card. Because this is one investment you will not regret.

When we see System Requirements like:

Intel P4/AMD equivalent

2 GB of RAM

512 MB of video memory

Keyboard, Mouse

We may think that it wont matter if your PC does not have a card. Yes, it might work, but you cant play it a 1280x resolution, and you'll have to turn down effects like anti-aliasing. And that can be a real killer. Who wants to play Crysis with graphics that look like Super Mario?? Easy: NObody.

Today, a good card costs anywhere from 3.2k - 20k. Reasonable cards include the Radeon 4600 series (4630, 4650, 4670) of which the 1 GB DDR3 HD 4670 comes at a mere Rs. 3450/-. That is pigshi* compard to NVidia's equivalent priced at Rs. 10400/-.

My card is the Radeon HD 4650 1GB DDR2 and i can play any game i want, including MAFIA 2, NFS: Hot Pursuit 2011 and more.

If there is one thing i'm sure of, it is that your computer is missing a Graphics Card. Invest in one, 100%!!!
