    HELP!-Concerning Graphics Card
    Hi, I have a ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics card, and the only update on the companies website is for 3300 rather than 3200, If I downloaded this, would there be any effect?, what would happen?

    Do you need 3200 then, and 3300 download is pointless?

    Yeah you need 3200. But, um, what is the download for? Your card is practically prehistoric, I don't see what difference it would make

    For computer games, and I was told I needed to update my graphics card as the loading screen kept going black, so ideally i need to download a 3200 rather than a 3300

    No I don't know. Make sure it's compatible and stuff. I really don't know, it must be an old laptop you have

    Oh, okay That download will tell you if it's compatible, I think. I really don't have a clue - when I installed mine I just downloaded everything I could see, but that's because I knew that my card was untouched (brand new in a computer I built myself).
