Your video card is not used during rendering so it doesn't matter what card you have.

How fast is your CPU because this is what's doing the rendering.

Quote - But when i go to render a picture or a movie, it does it slow, i mean like 1 day for a video of 25 sec. Pictures renders fine. but the videos renders slow. what can be the problem then???????

If by 1 day you really mean 24 hrs, then you are rendering about 1 second of video per hour. If your video is set to 30 frames per second you are rendering at a speed of 2 minutes per frame. That's not too bad depending on how complex the image is.

There are only two ways to speed up rendering. 1) Reduce Complexity. 2) Faster/More CPU

You mean by upgrade to a big CPU? and what about ram? Isn't the ram doing something with the rendering, speed it up? if  I upgrade my ram,does it go faster?
