Ok so I don't think the mother board can handle a gig>And I can't find the specs to tell me what it can handle-So please help me with this, it is a rare Sony it was built as a multi media center.

Can you give the original name of the mother board, model and make. It would also help if you post your computers specs.

I hate to say this clap, but your comp really is kinda old already. But hey, if you still want a videocard that will run in your comp here are some that are compatible. You still have an AGP 4x slot for a video card.

Yeah, adding a video card can reduce your lag problems...A lot.
