i think you should just upgrade your entire computer. if you have pc133 memory thats really bad, and a 32mb video card?? wow. just go to tigerdirect.com and buy all the parts for a new pc instead of a prebuilt one though, it will be a lot cheaper. you can get a pretty nice computer for about 400 bucks if you build it yourself. i know i did... but mine is worth over 1000 dollars now.... i have no life i have a GeForce FX 5900SE 128MB DDR for a video card right now, i'm looking to upgrade it sometime soon.

That looks like an on board graphics chip, make sure your motherboard has an AGP slot, then if it does, look for AGP graphics cards. Ebay has lots of ATI Radeon 9700s for cheap these days, very good cards. Otherwise, Radeon 9600s are fine. GeForce 4 Ti 4200 will also work well with your computer configuration.

Anything newer or faster (like a Radeon 9800) will be limited by the RAM and CPU so its not worth the extra.

If you are into development you may also consider workstation cards like the ATI FireGL or the Nvidia Quadro.

But if you don't have an AGP slot, you are out of luck

   there's a 256mb card with a higher bit-count. I don't know the difference between RAM and
   Bit. i want to be able to set all the graphic settings to high and still be able to play the game

   does to the video card....

7. Tobisha Notebook Graphic Problem - (1)

   I just recently dug up one of my old notebook computers and found out that there is a known graphics
   problem with the toshiba laptops. The monitor has a wavy and distorted picture to it and its very
   hard to move the mouse around. The cursor will start to fade in and out and all of the moving
   objects will be very blury. Now i understand that this is an old laptop and it may be suppose to
   have a blury video output, but the mouse fading shouldnt be happening i thought. Until i read up
   online that alot of the same models and even newer models are having this problem. It does...

10. A Battle Between Cheap Graphic Solutions - (2)

    Intel wishes to reach even more for cheap (integrated) graphical solutions and is developing a new
    solution on this department - GMA 950. We are talking about a solid graphic soltion, which will be a
    part of i945G chip, what is interesting for the manufacturers of computers that are built to be used
    in offices. So Dell and HP are very likely to use this option because it is cheap and enough
    powerful. There are also roomers, that this card is goin to be capable of running games like Doom
    3... This is also a bad news for Nvidia and ATI, which will loose a nice part of the...

11. Matrox Introduced A New Graphic Card! - (1)

    Some time ago Matrox introduced a new Matrox Millenium G550 PCIe, which runs on PCI Express x1. If
    you find it difficult to understand that x1, you are right, because usually graphic cards use PCI
    Express x16, especially the new more developed systems. But as soon as we look at the
    specifications, it becomes clear why Matrox decided for this x1 slot. On this card there is an old
    G550 processor, which is not capable to run modern gmaes (DirectX 7 support only, 2×2,...). But this
    card was not ment for that sort of users, servers and industrial computers are the targeted gr...
