Hi I own a Compaq Presario SR1503WM and when i bought it was windows xp.I upgraded the RAM from 256mb to 1gb. Then i upgraded to windows vista basic but some of the features wont work because i need a new graphics card and i dont know what card is the correct one that will work with my computer. If someone could help me out here i would appreciate thanks.

PCI cards do exist that would be better than the onboard graphics but I wouldn't spend the money for one. None of them will make anything approaching a gamer out of your system.
