    Alright..since i don't recognize the name...go back to that same screen and hit advanced for your video card...then see how many MB it is....64...128..etc

    Under Adapter Information- it says memory size: 64 MB, is that it?

    Ya, thats what I was looking for....64 is alright...but I would definitely upgrade that. From what you've told me of your specs, this is the part that u need to upgrade most for gaming.  I'd recommend getting either a 128 MB or 256 MB, depending on how deep your pockets are.

    Thanks so much. You were a great help. But- which kind of video card should I get ? Which has the best reputation?

    I'm going to complain about this- I bought a logitech wireless lazer mouse for $50 and it is not compatible with Microsoft Windows XP, so if anyone wants to buy it for $30 or so, just e-mail me.

    It's somewhat used but still works perfectly, we used to have Microsoft Me.

    Any Nvidia FX is good that is 128 MB and up.  ATi Radeon are also top of the line.  I would only go w/ these two brands.  Anything else is too risky.

    What about these Geforce cards? Are they any better than the other ones you listed?

    Dang, the ATI Radeon 9800 Pro Video Cards are really expensive!

    Thats the one listed for $150 right?  Thats the one that I am buying....its a top of the line card that still has a reasonable price...it will last a long time since its a 256 and unlike some of the others its actually affordable...good choice

    oops...no, not cheaper at local cpu store becuz most stores don't sell high end graphics cards like this. Usually, you have to buy upper end cards online.

    lemme explain the little mishap we had

    yes the amd 2500 is 1.83 ghz

    and yes the intel celeron taht you have is 2.00 ghz

    but the k cache on the celeron is 128

    and on the amd it's 512

    see? HUGE difference

    the amd 2500 is better than your celeron 2,0...trust me
