    For games I would recommend at LEAST a nvidia 6600 (Especially as its PCI only), and at LEAST 256 ram

    Now I feel cheeky:o , where will I find one, I can find reviews on the net, but no links to products!

    Thank you

    EDIT - Please ignore me, the last two posts didn't show before I posted this!

    Hi again, your system prooperties is showing 0.99GB for the RAM and you say that you have 2GB installed then it would appear your system may not be 'seeing' the extra Gig and therefore not using it also. I would be inclined to remove each stick and re-install them to see if they are recognised then. (Only do this if you are confident with it though, as i don't want you to blame me if it doesn't work! ;-)). This may also make your system respond a little better.
