Open it and see if there is an AGP slot. What is the serial number on the machine, Ill look up the specs.

PC2100 DRR SDRAM (DDR266).

Dude, this is a very low end machine. Its a 2.4ghz Celeron with a 400mhz FSB. Your machine also does NOT have an AGP alot according to the specs I found. I suggest you suck it up for now and do a full upgrade on a PC when you save enough. Its not worth upgrading at all to play games. If anything, buy 256MB DDR266 Memory to help speed with internet browsing and other basic activities.
