Obviously, I'm a nO0b....

If it's even possible (and it wouldn't surprise me in the least if it isn't....), what would I need to do to my old Gateway SX-2800 to run Diablo 3 as smoothly as any typical console game would run?

I apologize if I posted in the wrong section(s), if so, I hope this thread just gets moved instead of flamed or deleted. Thanks. :D
 
Your section choice is okay. Don't worry about it.

As to answer your question. No. Video card is pretty much worthless for any kind of gaming.

Welcome to the forum! :D
 
Form factor isn't as much of an issue as your Power Supply. You need a strong power supply for pretty much any decent video card to run and you frankly don't have one.
 
Fine seems to be a stretch. He's running a 220 watt PSU that probably doesn't even out put over 200 watts. The card suggests a 400 watt PSU. I know that's there to have a cushion but that's still a asking for too much.
 
I agree with Denther. I would not risk it. I have my doubts that if the PSU could pull 200w. Even if it can I doubt that it would be for very long. If he could get a good PSU in the smaller form factor he could upgrade the GPU.
