I currently have the standard card which came with my pc, about 4 years ago. It is an:Intel(R) 82915G/GV/910GL Express Chipset FamilyI'm looking into playing Warhammer Online when it comes out, and I want to be sure that my computer will play it well. I also have a PC2-3200 DDR2 SDRAM of 1.0 GB, if anyone wants to know that, or finds that important.My computer model is- HP Media Center PC m7067c.Also, anyone know how to install the graphics card? I heard it is really easy to do, but I just want to know if my computer CAN do it... My local Staples is selling an Nvidia 8400 for $80 and an Nvidia 8500 for $120. So I was going to decide between those, or look for an 8800 on ebay, as they run between $100-$200. I just dont want my computer to explode. It runs WoW fine, but Warhammer Online is obviously going to require more.Any response is greatly appreciated. Thanks!I used the SIW thing, and I dont know how to find out what I have... I dont know what PCI-E means. I'm completely new to upgrading computers. I just want a computer that can play Warhammer Online, and I dont want to go out and buy a whole new computer.I went under the "Video" section in the SIW, and it said-PropertyValueDisplay Adapter:Intel(R) 82915G/GV/910GL Express Chipset FamilyVideo Processor"Intel(R) 82915G/GV/910GL Express Chipset ControllerVideo memory size: 128 MBytesAdapter DAC Type:InternalBIOS String:Hardware Version 0.0BIOS Date:08/23/20Display Drivers:ialmrnt5.dllDriver Version:6.14.10.3971Driver Date:2004-12-01 18:28:14Inf File Name

Your PC will be able to use any graphics card. But, you need to find out what connector your mobo has(i.e. AGP, PC-E), and that your power supply can supply enough energy to this new card. Oh, and don't buy from staples. Both of the cards you're looking at are both over-priced. If you're looking at a PCI-E card, consider an 8600GT from newegg.com for $61.http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150229&Tpk=8600GT%2bXXX
