THESE are the types of graphics you get with an "Extreme" Graphics Card.
Convinced now?

The intel extreme isn't even a card. It's integrated graphics. And you have to have a video card/integrated video, or it wouldn't display video at all.

try for one of the ati radeon series, like the 9600 or around there.
but if you REALLY want a nice card, try an ati radeon 9800 XT or sumtin like that (can't remember the name

I used to have "Extreme" graphics, but I payed about $65 for a new card.
My graphics used to be:
With my new card installed:
Of course you can spend more money and get a little better of a card, but this was good enought for me.
http://www.newegg.com is a great site for good deals on cards, and shipping is "jaw-droppingly" low lmfao.

Buy yourself an nVidia ti4200. It has all the looks and features. is fast, and you will be very satisfied with the price. I got one for my friend on eBay for $40 shipped. PNY has the best version by the way. I am using a ti4600 and my gaming looks great and hauls a$$. GL

Compared to other cards, it sucks though. If it does what you wan't it to do, then you should be happy wether katarn says its a good or bad card. I have a "bad" card, and I love it. It does everything I need it to.
