IT Retarded

Hey Random Army,

I know many of you come from different walks of life, which is great!!! I am sending this out to the random army, I need to figure out what I can do to decrease the lag with my computers... I have two computers one is a sony which I bought several years ago to deal with graphics etc and the other is a dell... I will probably need to upgrade both of them but I'm just sick and tired of the lag.

I want to do more video editing, watching dvd on them and being on second life with no lag... i already have a cable modem so it not the download speed....

I am figuring it the graphics card and ram... however I have NO idea what or how good of a graphics card or ram I need in them to do what I want to do...

So I'm calling out to you THE SUPER ARMY to help !!!!! All advise is greatly appreciated...

WHAT DO I NEED TO DO????
