    Hi,

    Firstly, you must determine if you have an agp or pci-e slot, or if you actually have either. Some cheaper computers, especially those with celeron processors, don't have a graphics slot so upgrading could be limited to very poor cards that won't really be an upgrade at all(regular pci).

    Also, a Celeron is not the best for gaming. With games from a few years ago like Far Cry etc it should be fine as long as it's a decent Celeron, but for modern games, especially hardware intensive ones like Battlefield 2, they are quite weak.

    Firstly we can find out what you have at the moment? I assume it's most likely integrated gfx. Right click on desktop, go to properties, then click settings. Tell us what's there at the moment.

    Ant you are basically in much the same boat as this other guy that we were answering over a week ago. To save retyping the lot, go and read through what was said on the following thread first and see if any of it helps you understand your situation/options:

    Then shout again with any questions.
