I'd love to update the graphics on my computer. My Sims 2 game looks okay, but the pixellation annoys me, and I can't change it because my graphics aren't good enough.
From what I understand, my laptop has internal graphics, so I can't just buy a new card. I think I have to download graphic drivers, correct?

I have a Dell Inspiron N4010, with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. My current graphics are the crappy Intel HD graphics that come with the computer. :I

What kind of drivers should I download? Any suggestions? :3

(And I'm pretty stupid when it comes to stuff like this, so feel free to correct me. x__x)

Give us as much information about your existing computer as you can, including whether it's a laptop, slim desktop, or regular desktop:

You should also give us some idea of what price you are willing to pay for the entire upgrade.

Bear in mind that new graphics drivers won't improve how the game looks (at least not noticeably). Only a new graphics card, or if that's not possible (which it probably isn't) a new computer, will give you any significant improvement.
