Problems with webcam - Will graphics card upgrade help?
Hello,
I recently upgraded to Windows 7 and everything works relatively well with my 2GB RAM and older AGP video card. The main problem I have noticed is I can no longer multitask when I am video chatting with someone using a webcam when I could using Windows XP. I tried using a program called 'Vista Services Optimizer' which lowered the settings for Windows 7, but it still has problems. My question is, would updating my video card help this problem? My Windows Experience Indices are
Processor 3.1
Memory 4.2
Graphics 3.0
Gaming graphics 3.3
Primary hard disk 5.4
I do not want to update the processor because at that point I would just get a new computer. Any suggestions would be helpful, my current graphics card is a nVidia GeForce 6200 AGP with DDR memory and I am thinking about upgrading to this
Newegg.com - HIS H467Q1GHDAP Radeon HD 4670 1GB 128-bit DDR3 AGP 4X/8X HDCP Ready Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards
but only if it will be worth it.
Thanks in advance for your help!
