Hello all,

recently a friend off me gave me his Netvista (IBM) 8319-21G. It runs windows xp extremely well but i would also like to play some games on it. The product information of this pc can be found here. In short, the computer contains a full height, 32-bit PCI 2.2 (5v) slot. The build in graphics are Intel 845GV chipset so that kinda sucks.
What sort of graphics card should i purchase in order to run something like Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle Earth 2?

Greatz,

Pieter
 
The best PCI cards on the market are the ati 1300 & the x1550...although they are overpriced if you dont want to go through the hassel of purchasing a new MB those are your best options.

They can be found on Newegg for about $120 (usd)
 
Well, I do understand that I can't run games on super quality on this computer. This, ofcourse, also holds for the graphics card I'm going to purchase. But do you guys think that I can atleast run Battle for Middle Earth 2 at 1024*768 or something (med/low quality). And I also heard that FX 5700 from nVidia could be a good solution...how about that?
