Answer 2

To find out what kind of graphics card you have, or the series "right click on my computer >>> go to the tab Hardware >>> click on Device Manager , (you will see a bunch of stuff listed) >>> click on the plus sign (+) of Display adapters" it should then tell you what kind of video card you have. To be honest, if your computer is that old, it most likely will be an out of date graphics card or an integrated graphics card. If it is an integrated graphics card, the only think I suggest is to buy a new graphics card, however when you do buy a graphics card, you will need to then find out if your motherboard supports, pci or agp or pci express. I do not think your motherboard will support pci express because that is new technology and a 2000 computer will not have had it. Hopefully you have an AGP slot, then you can get a decent graphics card but will run you about 100 - 150$$... good luck, i suggest you get a new computer, but then again, I do not know your finacial situation....

Good luck

Answer 3

your 128 ram isnt going to do, just upgrading your video card wont do, and depends on what games you want to play as well
