    Sorry man, you computer looks like it doesn't support AGP, or PCI-Express. This means you won't be able to buy the best stuff for it unless you get a new motherboard and processor, which pretty much means your going to have to build a new comp if you do that. Only thing i can think of is an older PCI graphics card.

    I don't think they make them anymore, but i bought one for my sisters dell once for like 30 dollars. It is wayyyy out of date though.

    yea I know its a little out of date but I heard there are still some PCI cards around that will run newer games like eq2, my current setup runs games like WoW,CoH, and SWG fine but id still like an upgrade suggestion if anyones running eq2 or games like doom3 and HL2 with a PCI card.

    This was the best i could find on newegg.com other than that, you probably have to go to your local computer store for pci cards. I know the compusa in fresno CA, has a little section with pci cards and they dont go over 100 dollars.
