What is the video card?

It is a standard onboard (on the motherboard). The computer is about 3 years old.

Some of the other flavors of Linux (live CDs) will load.

What is your philosophy about working with computers....?

I'm not sure what you are asking. I mostly just do home computing now. Occasional wordprocessing/spreadsheet, mostly browsing Internet.

What is your philosophy about working with computers....?

For example....mine is... Computer should deliver nearly instantaneous results...within a liberal budget...

There is no good reason for man to wait on a computer to respond....

Also....screwing with all the anti virus and anti spyware that Microsoft software allows to have carte-blanche access to my machine is pointless....spent the time and effort with learning how to work with operating systems that have more architectural impediments to malware on the web...
