We really need the exact model, even if it's just some old Pentium D... maybe download Speccy and let us know what it says. To check the power supply, you'll probably have to pop the side panel off the case and look at the label. Might as well blow out the dust while you're at it if it hasn't been cleaned in a while. 😛
It's not a dual processor, and I guess it doesn't matter much whether we know the power supply specs or not, right? :d
Processor Name: Intel Pentium 4 640
Original Processor Frequency: 3200.0 MHz
CPU Brand Name: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.20GHz

Just guessing here, but maybe grab an HD 6670 with GDDR5 if you want to save some cash; if you don't mind spending a bit more, then maybe an HD 7750.
I assume your power supply should be fine since these aren't exactly power hogs.
Will I even be able to use DDR5?

Does anyone know which moderator from the Hardware section deleted my thread (titled "new graphics card") and why? It feels a bit unprofessional, I guess.

How exactly do you think I can just shove any of them in there? As for the budget, I don't want to overspend, but I don't want to cheap out either—maybe suggest something middle-of-the-road. 🙂
I'm only getting this for football, and I've got an Intel 3.2 processor, though I'm not sure about the power supply.

Motherboard Chipset: Intel 945G (Lakeport-G) + ICH7
Motherboard Slots: 2xPCI, 2xPCI Express x1, 1xPCI Express x16
Video Card: Intel 82945G Integrated Graphics Controller [DELL]
Video Bus: PCI
Video RAMDAC: Internal
Is this right?
I was wondering about the resources the graphics card uses—like, how much do the RAM and CPU actually matter when upgrading to a new card? Since I'm currently running Intel integrated graphics, would I be able to swap in something else, maybe an ASUS or NVIDIA card?
Right now my integrated graphics is set to 256MB and it's pretty much useless...

How can I figure out which slot my graphics card needs? And what kind of specs should I actually be looking at when picking up a new one?
