    I was having lag problems within games with a lot of units so I bought a new video card since I was running on the on-board graphics card.
    I installed the new card and got the correct drivers and my cpu recognized it.

    When I logged onto SCII I was still having the lag problems and there was no noticeable difference in graphics. The recommended settings were all still low.

    Is SCII still using the old graphics card or is my computer just not good enough for the game?

    I also have my cpu hooked up to my HDTV and it uses its speakers.

    Here are my specs:
