    I have an Intel(R) 82865G graphics controller and i was wondering what would be the best step up for playing games on my pc. I know this is like the crappiest graphics card, but thats what you get from dell when you get their crappiest model computer. I would like to play games like Battle for Middle Earth 2 and things like that. The system requirements lab web iste recommends that i have pixel shaders and certex shaders(i have no idea what that means), 128 mb of vid ram, and Video HW Transform & Lighting(i also dont know what that means)

    Please help if you can, thanks.

    List your system specs cpu, ram, you need to check wether its an apg or pci-e graphics slot and how much you wanna spend, if its onboard graphics and doesnt have a slot for graphics card then your choices are very limited. if it does have a slot then you'll need to uninstall the graphics driver and disable the onboard graphics when you start up the pc with a new graphics card in.
