    4/10, acceptable for very old games and that's about it. it's technically not even a card, just a chip on the motherboard.

    I don't really know, never seen any video cards named anything close to that, i think you might have an on bord card, if that is the case, get a new one.

    Xelink is correct, it is just a chip on your motherboard not an actual card. You can expect to get around 100FPS on CS 1.6 or any contemporary games @ 60Hz refresh rate. Or you could play any games on the Source Engine or contemporary with about 20FPS @ 60Hz refresh rate.

    So I would say yes, you need a new card to play those games. Your next step is to determine whether you have PCI-E slots or AGP slots.

    EDIT:

    Just saw your reply to the upper thread. You need to re-read how to install the nVidia card. You must first delete the drivers for your Integrated Intel and then boot up and let the new nVidia card do the rest. I'm not familiar with the Geforce 4, not sure if thats the 4k series or what. I can't provide any benchmarks for that.

    Download http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php and run it, no instalation
    Go to the motherboard tab.
    At the bottom where it says graphical interface tell us if it says AGP, PCI or PCI-E (PCI-Express)

    that's at about the same level as a GeForce 4 card, ----, perhaps a little lower but not much.

    You will have to let us know how it turns out, the performance increase.
    I don't think i would get cross fire yet as its not as tested as SLi.

    Actually, Crossfire is rated better than SLi... because the system doesn't decrease like SLi does. It actually does what it is supposed to do. I am not too sure why I would need a Cross yet though, nor do I know if I am going to get one. Because, my one card alone has as much memory as most of your computers do, if not, then I have half. I am running 2GB of RAM right now and sometimes I run 4... so I think I will be okay.
