NEED HELP with video card and internet problem

[Ryan4321]

First- I would like to know if upgrading from a Radeon x800 to a 8600GT is worth the $65. 

Also I have an internet connection problem.

I use windows xp sp2 and I will just inform you of what I have done to try to solve the problem so far.  I had the avg trial and then the avg miniport 2 driver corrupted.  I tried deleting it and it said it might be needed for system boot so it wouldnt let me delete it.  I also tried uninstalling/installing avg as well as pinging the ip addresss.

The Radeon x800 is a four-year-old graphics card; the 8600GT is only one year old. Isn't $65 worth three years of improved technical capabilities? If you are more than a casual gamer, the upgrade is worth it. The ATI x800 is comparable to the Nvidia GeForce 6800.
