    Greetings! New user here! First off... here are my PC's specs...

    HP Pavilion 513n
    Windows XP
    Intel Celeron 1.8Ghz
    256 MB RAM
    Intel 82845GL Extreme Graphics on-board video controller

    Here's my question...

    I want to upgrade the video card but I'm on a VERY modest budget. I've been looking at vid cards on eBay and I'm thinking about 64 MB setup. Will this improve my video performance much? Also, I do not have AGP available, only PCI.

    Thanks!

    Yeah, that onboard card is pretty weak. An upgrade , even if it is PCI, would improve performance. I'd suggest another 128 to 256MB of RAM as well.
