ya you will, all gamers do it when they get new hardware.

btw you need a new video card, i suggest you look to make some $ on the side and when you get some buy a new video card.

btw what brand of computer do you have, and its a no-name or custom pre-built then what type of motherboard does it have?

edit: just read your specs, some of the old compaq's don't have agp slots so take off teh side of yoru case and check (the warranty is probably void by now anyways).

This is the Inside of my computer soo..

Don't buy a psp seriously they suck. If you don't take my recommendations on ANYTHING ELSE, take it on this i swear.

Besides, if your comptuer doesn't have an agp slot (you'll need to take the side of the case off and check, it'll be at the top of the slots, shaped differently from the pci slots below) then you'll need a pci video card, which considering your budget, would probably be a good match seeing as they don't make super high end cards for pci due to the bandwidth limits on the bus type.

bingo: this shoudl fit in your budget (assuming the $122 is in us$, these prices are in canadian)

psp = permanently slow preload, hope you got ALOT of time to spend waiting for load screen.

Grats on the card tho, i'm sure you'll notice a big difference from your onboard
