Technical Question

I am not very aquainted with the hardware for a PC. I am wanting to upgrade my video card so SWG will run smoother. Right now I have a Intel Extreme Graphics Controller.
Chip Type: Intel 82845G/GL Chip
DAC: Internal
I don't understand this, so my question is: Could I use an AGP Interface Video Card? If it helps, I cannot find anywhere on my system specs where anything is integrated.
Any feedback at all would be greatly appreciated.....

it doesnt matter if your graphics card is AGP or PCI, the minimum is 16mb (i think) but i dont guarantee you can play with 16mb video card
Not sure if you're sticking with SWG after this week or not but I can't think of any modern game that you wouldn't want an AGP video card for, unless you have a new mother board with PCIX. From the boxes minimums are 32 MB and 64 recommended for both SWG and JTL. As with most games though these are understated to encourge sales to people with under-powered systems. You should get at least a 128 MB card, these days almost the same price as a 64 MB, don't think anyone still sells 32 MB. If you can afford it go to a 256 MB card. Before you go up to 256 though there's a couple other things you may want to try. At least 1 GB of system RAM, preferrably 2 and you may want to try a SATA hard drive if your mother board supports them, be careful though as it may require a new power supply too since they use different connectors.
AGP 128 MB card is my recommendation. Or anything newer and better.
1 gig RAM ... RAM is the MOST IMPORTANT thing in SWG.
2+ GHz processor.
have fun
