How can you improve your pc's game graphics?

The computer has a graphic by the graphic card, (video card) the better one you have the better graphics you have. HD 3550 is better than HD 750. So more the number on the graphics card the better yours is. Or it might be in the option and turn up the graphics. It might lag if you have a ok one, but turn down if it starts to lag. And eventually you can find one that suits your graphics card.

How can you disable an embedded component on the motherboard?

Generally, this is a very bad idea. The only instance in which I would ever do it is to disable an integrated graphics chip and use a deticated one. I have an article from EHow below.Many computers are purchased with integrated graphics built into the motherboard. Integrated graphics are getting more powerful all the time, but a dedicated graphics card is much more powerful than graphics integrated with your motherboard, according to the Microsoft website. To get more power and performance from your computer, upgrade to a dedicated graphics card. To change to a graphics card from integrated graphics, simply install your new video card.Instructions1Turn off your system and remove all cables from the rear panel of the computer tower. Flip the switch for the power supply to the off position if your computer's power supply has a power switch. Press the power button on the disconnected computer to release any stored charge the computer still holds in its motherboard.2Remove the screws that secure the computer's side panel. There are normally two to three screws securing the side panel of a computer tower. Newer computers sometimes use thumbscrews or latches to keep the side panel in place.3Open the computer case by removing the side panel. Place the computer on its side to allow easy access to the computer's expansion slots located on the motherboard. Touch the metal casing on your computer's power supply to ground yourself and prevent static electricity from damaging your system.4Align your graphics card with the motherboard's expansion slot and press it firmly down to insert the new video card. Secure your new graphics card to the rear panel of your computer with a single computer case screw to keep it in place. Connect the graphics card to your computer's power supply if your card requires an external source of power.5Replace the side panel of the computer and tighten the screws that keep the side of the computer case secure. Attach your computer cables to the rear panel of your computer case and turn your computer's power supply switch to the on position. Double-check that you have connected your monitor cable to the newly installed video card. Press the power button on the front panel of your computer to boot your system.6Turn on your computer monitor to ensure your monitor is receiving a signal from the new graphics card. Your motherboard will automatically detect that a card is plugged into the expansion slot, and use the installed graphics card for video.7Insert the driver installation disk and follow the installation media's instructions. If necessary, restart your computer to apply the new driver settings and configuration for your graphics card.
