Hi all, Im new so not sure if this is the correct place to ask....

I have the following specs and really want to get a new card to help play some of the newer games like Fall Out 3. I have a geforce PCX 5900 and it is not cutting it. Anyone have an idea where I should start? I'm looking to spend around 100 bucks or so.

pci express geforce pcx 5900
cpu: pentium 3.6 (2)
memory:1GB RAM
350 watt power supply

Detected Chipset:Intel(R) 915 Express Chipset Family
Chipset Components
Memory Controller:82915G/P
I/O Controller:Intel(R) 82801FB I/O controller hub (ICH6)
Integrated Graphics:This chipset does not contain integrated graphics.

Thanks in advance!

What he said!  ;D

Also it may be worth upping your RAM from 1GB to 2GB if you have the funds.
