first off, i would like to thank the ppl that are willing to help a noobie like me that has little knowledge about computers. ok, now on with the question. i want to purchase a video card for my computer. i know this has been asked plenty of times around PC forums. i own a Sony Vaio PCV-RS310. heres a link to the specs of the computer.

i was reading the specs and it says that it has PCI. so does it mean that i should purchase a PCI graphics card, if i ever wanted to purchase a new graphics card? the graphics card im using is an integrated intel 845GV. its pretty decent running world of warcraft, but still a bit laggy. it doesnt show the smoothness when playing, of course...but i want to purchase a video card that can run WOW really smoothly for a decent price. say around $75-$100+. my friend told me to buy an nvidia 6600. but i have no idea if it will work on my computer. does it matter if the card is 128MB or 256MB? do i have to purchase a video card that has DDR? etc. etc. i just dont wanna purchase a video card that i have no idea about and will not work on my computer.
thanks for reading.....
