Is f.lux legit? For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, give it a try [url=https://justgetflux.com/]here[/url].

A new graphics card for my computer. I have an Intel (R) 82915G/GV/910GL Express Chipset Family card right now in my computer, and it has come to a point where it's not cutting it. Most games that I want to play have a minimum requirement of a Geforce 5000 series or better, and to give you an example, when I downloaded Vindictus, the characters were just floating faces of white lines. I need to know what kind of card I should be looking for, and whether or not it can run certain games on normal settings. My specs are: Sony VAIO desktop, Pentium (R) 4 CPU 3.00 GHz 1.99 GB of RAM (looking to upgrade this too lol) Windows XP 2002 Model- VGC- RB45G 189 GB of Local disk C: (is that my hard drive?) My computer is about 4-5 years old if that matte
