Stean Games and Drivers

Well, I don't know much about this, but here goes. Lets say my friends have a bad computer, with little disk space and not much ram. They can't run Source engine games, and games on the Half Life 1 engine don't run well, either. I totalled up most of what they would they would need to make their computer be able to run Source games, and I said they would need :
A new hard drive (External, or internal)
about 3-4 GB of RAM
and a new Graphics card.
A question now pops up. Would they need a new Graphics card if they updated their video drivers?

 

Hello There,

If they need a graphics card it will come with a installation disk anyway which will have the updated video drivers. Which graphics card you need depends on what type of games are you running, I would strongly recommend getting a ATI graphics card as they are quite good at coping with games especially half life 1.

Hope this helps

 

Nvidia cards are also good.

 

But, my question still remains. Would they need to buy a new graphics card if they would update their drivers? I know a new graphics card would update them, but they wouldn't need a new graphics card if they only have to update their drivers.

 

What card are they using?

 

It depends on the current graphics card they have, they might not be any updates or anything so they might have to go out and get a new card with the latest update drivers.
