Can't you get AGP cards? I'm sure they still exist.

I don't think that'll help. Going by the illiteracy in the OP's posts I'm guessing, and I may be wrong, that they're from this side of the pond in the UK!

If I'm right, then www.overclockers.co.uk or www.dabs.com will be fine.

As for built-in graphics cards, they are not the best choice by far but GW still support most intel integrated chipsets from the GMA 900 and GMA950 series. There are some not supported intel chipsets, they are listed on the system requirements page i think.

So getting a new video card might be a priority but it's definetely a very good idea.
