Do you have a GPU
Sunday December 28, 2008
A GPU is a specialized processor on a video card to help make the card run faster. I never thought that it was something I really needed, as I don't play a lot of 3D games. But according to the PC Hardware / Reviews Guide at About.com, this may be changing. Now, if you have Creative Suite 4 and the appropriate graphics card, you will get some advantage when editing photos in Photoshop, video in Premiere, using Acrobat or Flash player. Using Graphics Cards For More Than Just 3D Graphics

Nice Tutorial….. success
I have to agree about the GPU. I ended up buying an HP laptop with a sub-par video card that also cannot be upgraded. Overall, I don’t have many problems but I have turned of the Windows Aero interface and window animations in Vista to make the OS run faster.
Happy new year!

Wrong. GPU is not “specialized” it is some of the crappiest graphics ever.
Get a graphic CARD.
Lol: I asked the PC Hardware Guide and he feels that you may not know what a GPU is. “A GPU is the graphics processor unit or graphics chip. This is the actually graphics chip that resides on a graphics card. So, if you have a graphics card, you have a GPU. He is probably equating a GPU with integrated graphics. Integrated graphics are also a GPU, just not very powerful and with limited features.”
