Very good point actually. It comes with integrated graphics card built into the motherboard but no AGP slot for adding a fancy 3D accelerator. This basically means it's not really suitable for the latest 3D games. But fine for general office/wordprocessing/internet use.

You could add (i presume) a PCI slot based 3D accelerator e.g. a nvidia FX5200 PCI (not to confused with the new PCI-Express cards) which would improve the gaming ability somewhat but I couldn't say exactly if it would run or what the performance would be in something like Half Life 2.

Also be aware this is the older model Celeron, not the newer "D" type so this is not going to be very fast for anything other than basic uses e.g. Web, word processing etc.
Personally I think it'd be better to keep an eye out for one of the Dell Dimension 3000s which keep coming up on offer from time to time.
