Hello,
I want to buy one of those usb attachments that allows you to watch tv
on you laptop.
The system requirements for the one i would like to buy include
pentium3 or higher and a DirectX 8.1 compatible VGA card.
I know that have a celeron processor, but do not know if this is
equivalent or higher than a pentium 3. I am aware that there are many
types of celeron processor too.
I also do not know what type of VGA card my laptop has.

Could somebody please tell me how to find the information on my
computer?

Thanks
 
To see info on your version of Directx:
Click START and then RUN

In the RUN dialogbox type DXDIAG and press enter.
