Re: Where do i go to update my BIOS
eMachines lists no BIOS upgrades.

http://www.emachines.com/support/pro...es&model=W4885

http://www.emachines.com/support/recover.html

You could try to track down the motherboard & try that route.

This scan will show the board under Main Circuit Board

http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html

Why do you feel the need to update?

Re: Where do i go to update my BIOS
Ok ive been told the wrong thing sorry about that, I have another question where or what do i go to buy/download ( I dont know if you put it in your computer or download it) a new Graphics Controller/Driver
I need another one to play Guild Wars, can you suggest one? Sorry i know nothing about graphics drivers and what not i just need advice.


Also can you suggest other things to help out my gameplay for Guild Wars? Somethings that a mildly affordable.

Re: Where do i go to update my BIOS
Your computer had onboard graphics originally.

Intel® Extreme Graphics integrated

http://www.intel.com/products/chipsets/eg1/

Game compatibility here:

http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/CS-010470.htm

It is unclear if that is sufficient for your game as it is not listed either way.

____________________________________

To upgrade you would need to add a Graphics Card.

You can most likely choose any compatible model but eMachine recommends these:

Video Controller nVidia FX5200 4X/8X AGP 128MB DDR TV + DVI VAEV8A8N306L 89.95
Video Controller nVidia FX5200/5500 4X/8X AGP 256MB DDR TV + DVI VAEV6A8N307T 129.95

Re: Where do i go to update my BIOS
Your processor is excellent.

Another 512 of RAM might make a difference but only if you are currently using 100%.

You can view this via the Task Manager | Performance | Physical Memory

The speed of your hard drive & the free space would also have a bit of impact.

The most important issue by far is the graphics card.
