Re: Graphics Card Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looking at the picture, your motherboard has only PCI slots. There are landings for an AGP slot, but no slot, which indicates you probably have a integrated graphics only chipset.
Due to this fact, you will unfortunately not be able to play these games. The fastest card available for PCI is along the lines of Radeon 9200 and GeForce FX 5200, both of which will not be able to play Quake 4 or Half Life 2 with any level of enjoyability. You would need a replacement motherboard in order to use a graphics card.
