card..thinking of ordering this one on line..anyone know anything about this....sob sob.

Wish I could wave a magic wand to help with your computer, Avril. Nothing's more frustrating as a computer down when you have lots of beautiful photos to post!
This bus capture is really cool ~ love the energy of it. #11200773

Shouldn't be difficult to find. I googled it and got this one among others:
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-card-review,3107.html
And there are links to shops where you can buy it. I also saw a YouTube video on how to update - but I didn't watch it.
Good luck with it, Avril.
I love the way you captured the bus and the whole streeet scene. No mistake on the city here :) #11200775

So sorry to hear about your computer problems, Avril! I was devastated when my external hard drive (with a huge number of my images....not backed up....shame on me) crashed, and even Seagate could not retrieve them). But on to happier thoughts!! This is awesome! Love the movement of the bus and the gorgeous color as if flies by!! #11200913

What an awesome capture Avril - love it! Can't help with the puter - I'm technology challenged lol! Good luck tho. #11201630

Love the motion blur of the red bus, Avril. Good luck on replacing your graphics card. You might want to follow these steps before you go out and buy a new graphics card. It could be dust built up around it and it is not cooling down...or worse yet...it might actually be your motherboard going out and not your graphics card at all. Here is a link to some great diagnostic checks to go through before you buy a card only to find out...it wasn't the problem in the first place.
