i think you could play new games with low fps and low quality - so it's not that good anymore.

sucks hard :S

Depends on the price and what you want to do with this computer.

What would you guys suggest I should do?

I've allways kinda guessed what is good... I look @ the amount of ram and well.. i don't have a clue about video cards nor about processing speed

Would someone care to enlighten me? I would like to learn...

If you want to play the newest game you should buy some proper graphic card and a good processor.
And i think you should have atleast 4 GB ram DDR3. would cost arround 450 € + case , motherboard , DVD-player & -burner and a Hardrive.

If you want to play games like quakelive or ET you pc should be able to handle high fps.

I would like to hear more about graphic cards..

How do you recognize a good one? you'll get al this Gforce 2200 things .. but i never think like.. wow that's a good one since i really can't recognize a good one.. how do you do it? you look it up on the internet or what? or does 2200 mean something really bad or really good...

Well you should just stay up to date and read articles about graphic cards. They do a lot of test with them and compare them to other cards.

Here is a list of some Geforce products : http://www.nvidia.de/object/geforce_family_de.html

And you should look at the ram + mhz

GeForce GTX 590
GeForce GTX 580
GeForce GTX 570
GeForce GTX 560 Ti
GeForce GTX 560
GeForce GTX 550 Ti
GeForce GTX 460

These are the newest Geforce cards. I would recommend a gtx 560 or a gtx 570. They ain't so expensive as 590 and 580. But still do have a lot of power. Gtx 570 Phantom is almost as good as gtx580 and a lot cheaper , you should go for it :) (Highend Cards)
