Please forgive me but I have a measly HP Brio Celeron 433 running on what I believe is a I810 mobo with 96Mb of memory.

It provided for my meagre needs until I managed to acquire a 19" monitor. Now the graphics chews up such a large portion of CPU & Memory I am experiencing performance problems with both CPU utilisation and Memory swaps.

There is no AGP slot and I have heard that there are problems adding graphics cards to the I810.

My fix was to buy a cheap PCI card TNT Vanta or something similar, which would run the 19" 2D at high res and give me a little bit of juice for 3D (but this ain't too important).

I would appreciate your advice to provide a cheap solution. I will be buying/building a whole new machine in about 12 months I just want a quick fix until then.

Get an ATi radeon 32mb PCI. Fastest pci card out there. Goto best buy or some place like that. Most likely $99 after rebate. Comes with a dvd decoder too.
