I am from Jamshedpur & I am a gaming freak.

I have a computer - HCL Beanstalk-4458
configuration is as follows:-

----------------------------------

I am planning to upgrade to 512 DDR RAM, with a graphics card.
I would like to know if my motherboard supports a graphics card or not.
In Jamshedpur, the hardware market is almost zero. Therefore, the nearest hardwarre hot stop and spot for me is Kolkata.
Please suggest me the correct upgrades so that I can smoothly run games like-DOOM-3 and HALF LIFE-2.
(cash limit - within Rs. 10,000)
Also, plese provide me with the addresses of genuine hardware dealers in Kolkata(only)!


I have a few more questions:-

1. What is pixel shader?

2. How do I change my "START" button to read "AKASH" instead of start?

3. Has HALO 2 arrived in India?

4. How do you save in GTA 2[game] provided in this month's DIGIT DVD?
No cheats work. I tried to cheat as provided in the Cheatbook but of no avail. Please give me a detailed procedure od saving and cheating in the game.



please can you give me all the answers within 2 days? It is a request to all the forum uers.

I need help in my hardware configuration immidiately!!!!!@ Please advice me on the RAM's make I should opt for.

Its a current technlogy that is highly stressed on making the In-game surfaces look more realistic.....The latest version is V2.0 is needed by some games like Deus Ex:invisible wars,Prince of Persia:Sands of time etc and recent Graphic cards Like minimum Geforce Fx 5200 and So on support This feature....without this feature support in ur graphics card u wont be able to Start the pixel shader requiring game More Info out here http://www.nvidia.com/object/feature_pixelshader.html
