Alright, lets sort this out. Your Mom needs to go back to the second hand place and tell the guy she wants her money back. PERIOD.
Selling a pc that is so old and decrepit it uses circa yr 2001 AGP technology
(and cheap even then)graphics whilst running a windows 7 licence is a clear mislead of machinery age.There is no way that is acceptable to the general public. It is blatently taking the Rise and a refund is due.
A bigger con could not be purportrated Cheeses. That graphics card is the same age as you are.

thanks for your imput but i'll stick with this computer. aparently its possible to take the video card out and replace it.
VERY HELPFUL GUYS THANKS*sarcasm*

You might have problems changing the card over. That's another reason why its good to post your build (per forum guidelines). It helps us to help you.

Apparently, you don't like when the answers to your question are answers you do not like. Next time, you can save yourself some bother by typing your question in a txt file and underneath, typing the answer you would like to hear. Cut out the middle man and an instant response!

Truth is, that PC is so old that you're not going to be able to do much in the way of upgrading. AGP cards were being phased out a *decade* ago, your particular card was an entry-level card that came out in early 2002. There are upgrades, but essentially to get you from 12-year-old technology to 9 year-old technology.

The other posters weren't joking - it's not a PC I'd pay $30 for, so if there was an opportunity for a refund, I'd take it, and save for something that is closer to the modern age.
