as long as you have an agp slot,buying a normal graphics card is highly recommended.even a secondhand/new radeon9550 for $20 (or even less,with a bit of luck) will be much,much better at running everything than your current integrated graphics card..(note: make sure you avoid the 64bit memory bus low-profile SE edition,that one is much slower than the regular card.)
