Ah! Fantastic :D Thanks so much!!

Still don't know what to do. If anyone could help by checking out the service tag number and making any comments I'd be so grateful. I'm looking to buy the Sapphire card that was recommended above. Thanks.

Hi, thanks for the link. Service tag number : BXWH94J

Ehh, service tag? Where can I find that?

I just bought myself a new desktop, mainly to run The Sims 3 when it's released. Being a bit of a dunce with the technical stuff, I thought I was getting a good deal and it meets the minimum specs. Except it doesn't. Here's the specs of the desktop I just bought; Inspiron 530:Intel Pentium Dual Core E5200 (2.5GHz, 800MHz, 2MB) Memeory Dual Channel 2GB (2x1024MB) 800Mhz DDR2 19-in-1 Media Card Reader Hard Drive 320GB Serial ATA non Raid (7200 Rpm) Integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3100 Operating System: English Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 (32Bit OS) with Recovery DVD Now here's a link to minimum specs needed for the game; About The Sims 3 - Feature 6 Ok, so I've been told I have integrated graphics which are rubbish apparently. I need a spanking new graphics cards with its own memory... I think? If I'm right, the next question is which graphics card do I need to get and is it possible to fit it into my new Dell? Any advice will be gratefully received. Thanks!
