[jaws-uk] Video cards and Graphics Cards

 hi
this is a a general question to revive my memory, but can anyone tell me the 
difference if any between a Video Card and a Graphics card?
    Phill who asked  a question on this list, will well recall he
downloaded  a Demo copy of Lunar to test for me, now the effect was Disaster
, due to Phill having Dual Monitors.  The warning about Dual Monitors was
not on the Website so he  did not expect this.  I hear also mention Dual
Core, is there a difference please?
 I was told some years ago it was best to have Independant  Graphics card,
with it's own memory not sharing  the Motherboard.

Now all that advice seems to have changed. I am left doing a work a round
with my Desktop  due to this. If I try to alter the Resolution  for Jaws,
Pc will do a Reload or blue screen. I  am finding it and  even those who
should know not possible to find a suitable Driver that is compatible.
Laptop is no problem. What I would like to know is why  advice now differs.
phill I am sure will have  looked at the  Jaws or Fs Website, he  may well
not have found anything that looks suitable. If anyone has the time please
can you run over the main difference between Video Card Graphics card and
Drivers do they both mean same thing. I will not muddy the waters by
throwing in DCM, I think Phil Medway  on the list did try to explain this
some time ago
