Here's your motherboard:

Do you know your PSU specs? You need to know the wattage plus the amperage on the +12v rail(s). Newegg has got some really good deals on PCI-e gaming cards right now for well under $100. Here's a couple examples:

I tried to post a question, but the site said I wasn't posting the right credentials. My question is about the same integrated video. My computer is an Emachines T3508. 512 MB (DDR SDRAM) Max RAM 2 GB, XP SP2, Intel Celeron D 3.33 GHz, Bus Speed 533 MHz, Video Output Interface PCI Express, Hard Drive Capacity 160 GB, Hard Drive Rotation Speed 7,200 RPM, Graphic Processor ATI RADEON X300 (I hope all this helps). I play these games: City of Villains, Guild Wars, Sims 2 w/Expansion Packs, and DoMO. I know to upgrade the ram to max. The video driver is what confuses me. I also know to get a PCI Express video card. I need to know what is compatible with my computer, and if I need to upgrade my power supply. Geek Squad told me to upgrade to 550 watts. I want a second opinion.
