The shift from Windows XP to Windows Vista was something a lot of people had to think about as Vista had its fair share of compatibility issues, but also initial running. We took that chance and threw on Vista Ultimate and loved it. We didn't have any compatibility issues, except for really old software; given that Vista has had a chance to fix itself up.

Well, Windows 7 was released a while back and we've finally upgraded our computers to Windows 7 Ultimate, and here's what we think so far:

  • Looks good
  • More (great) features
  • More tools

But firstly, what is the graphics card (GPU)? It is the visual processor which allows the computer to output a video signal to your monitor. Without it, you'd have nothing to see.

So other than being able to see, what else makes the GPU important?

This may come to a shock to many computer users but not everyone uses a computer, nor knows how to use one; both young and old.

Many users, even myself once, would have just purchased a new graphics card, stuck it in, and hope for the best.

Simply what happens is there is no display on the monitor; no, the graphics card isn't faulty, we've only connected the monitor to the wrong place.
