You stick it in the back of a computer and it puts pictures on the screen - it puts stuff on the screen.

The better it is, the better it puts pictures and stuff on the screen.

Every computer has one mate. Even yours. Some are attached to the main board (a motherboard) but you can put them on the motherboard as well. This is usually to operate more graphics intensive programs faster.

For 1gb this is fairly cheap but I liked at the specs and it seems this is a 256mb card.

My laptop dont have that. I will look out it on coputers in future.

Some laptops have their own graphics cards, others have them built in.

It basically determines how good of quality you view images on your computer, Harry. A good one means the picture is crisp and clear, and a bad/average ones means they're maybe slightly pixelated or something. Every computer/laptop has one by default, but you can buy "better" ones to increase quality.

I dont know much about technology anyway lol. Thanks for telling me that.

I wouldn't say pixelated - I'd say it takes longer to render the image while a good quality one on a good quality board will render things faster and allow you to do more (graphics based) things at once.
