I just got a new game, but it tells me that the graphic card is too old... In order to get a new one, do I have to pay for it? Is there anyway to get one for free (thats not illegal)...?

Yes of course you have to get a new graphics card. However, you can probably get a substantially improved graphics card for a relatively small amount of money from a vendor like newegg.
What's important to know is:
-What type of graphics slot do you have?
-How powerful is your computer power supply?
-What type of graphics card do you have now?
-Do you know how to open up your computer and replace the video card?
If you don't know the answer to these questions, this might be the type of thing that's simply beyond your capability. Try and find someone to help you if it is.

Stop by any computer store and ask them you would like to purchase a ATI graphic card, depends on the age of your computer, you might need either AGP, or PCI version.

Yes indeed, you have to BUY a new graphics card.
Next time be sure to READ the SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS on the box of ANY game or software BEFORE you buy it!
