it looks like your cpu is an amd 3000. and it also looks like your motherboard has a pci express slot. but you have intergrated graphics. NO video card. thats the first problem. your second problem is you only have a 250 watt power supply. most video cards today need arond 350 to 500 watt powersupplys. so heres basicly what you will need. a pci e video card of your choice form the list in a post above and a power supply that meets the requirements of the video card. this card will run in your machine without having to upgrade the power supply http://www.bfgtech.com/6200_256_PCI.html but performance will be on the lower side of things. most game detail will be set at low to medium. and last you should have a full gig of memory. your motherboard supports pc3200 ddr 400 memory. and its best to upgrade in matched sets . you will need to look through the white papers on the hp site or call them and ask about the details of your machine to be sure how upgradable your machine is. hope this helps some but do your research before your purchase

What video settings you running at?

I had an even worse puter than that and it ran OK on medium and great on low with shaders and lighting off.

Click can you run it? button. Select a game, then press Can you run it? again. It shows you minimum requirements, your specs, and recommended requirements.
