Beefing up system for video games

[acjspowell1]

I have a client's system that's an Intel CA810e mainboard w/ 128Mb SDRAM & 750MHz PIII/20G HDD.

His children are trying to run high-intensity video games but the system either locks up or gives a virtual memory error. There is no AGP slot and video is integrated.

If I max the RAM at 512Mb PC100 and add a decent graphics card @ either 128Mb or 256Mb, will that be sufficient to handle these games? Or should I lean towards a faster overall system?

Examples of games: Madden Sports 2005/Jurassic Park Operation Genesis.

Thanks for any input!

With the money you invest it would be wiser to buy a whole new computer

if i were you, i would buy a new mobo with a agp slot and the needed supplies, and this video card:6800
