Updating drivers for graphics card from drivers & utilities cd/dvd

Appleblossom42 · 2008-03-31 14:31:07

I have a Radeon x600 256 mb card that does it's job but lately when my daughter is playing all her Sims2 games the pc crashes after about 30 minutes of gameplay. I was told to update the graphics card through the drivers and utilities cd that came wth the pc. I was just wondering if this is possible and how to go about it…

download them.

personally, if all your daughter is playing is sim's2 and thats the most resource demanding game thats played by anyone on the computer, then i wouldnt bother upgrading unless you either really want to for the sake of it, or other applications/games are used/wanted to be used that would require it.
