    This is the second example in two days of a good computer choked by a crap graphics card :D

    You don't overly need a new cpu, but you definately need a new gfx card - and I'd go for a high end one, like an x800xl, or a 6800 of some type - 3ghz with 1gb ram is good enough to support any new games given a decent card.

    Do you do much gaming? That geforce 4 must really limit you, where did you get the pc?

    Indeed, good PC, sh!t Graphics Card... ;)

    I agree with MobileInfantry when he suggests to go for a proper card such as a 6800. PC doesn't need to be upgraded really...

    Whatever you do, change that graphics card, itll hold everything back.
