i think you just need a new one, what kind of slot do you have (agp,pci or pci-x)
and what is your budget and what 3d-card manafactur do you prefer (ati or nvidia

If you have any family or friends with a spare graphics card that's of the correct interface for your motherboard then try to borrow that. If not, then I'm afraid you've got to lay down some cash and buy yourself a decent graphics card.

First though, perhaps you should look through this thread:-

Probably, yes.
Those Intel onboard video cards are c-r-a-p for gaming. You're going to need at least 128mb of video ram to be honest, and those integrated video cards just don't cut it.
