    Hi,

    It looks like your processor and Ram would make the minimum requirements. For the video, you need to have at least a geforce 6600 or a radeon 9800 video card. I cant tell what kind of agp slot is in there currently, but a geforce 6600 needs an 8x agp slot to work.

    If your AGP slot is 8x then you should be able to get a geforce 6600 around 50 dollars or so. :)

    You cannot change the hardware of a pre-build PC like packard bell. get your self a new PC but build it your self, if you don't know how to then get a mate to help you out.

    Have you actually opened up a pre-built system in the past 5-10 years? Your statement is entirely false. It can be upgraded, and while it's obviously incapable of jumping to the newer platform, snagging a video card and dropping it in is possible. This isn't the 70's and 80's where standards were from vendor to vendor.
