Okay, Well I'm a totat idiot when it comes to hardware, can't tell good from bad, so I'll start out with my system info and that stuff..

I'm running WinXP..

Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 1.80 Ghz
510MB RAM
Intel(R) 82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV Graphics Controller with approx. 64MB memory
DAC Type: Internal
I'll include more info if needed

I'm looking to buy a new video card, pref. better than my current one, and it must support Hardware Transform and Lighting.

I'm not sure if it's integrated or not, but I think it is, but I got no idea what this would mean..

Someone mind helping me out, recomending a better one/telling me how to install it/etc. =/.
