I need help with video cards!?

I'm planning on purchasing a new computer to run a game and plus my computer is seven years old now. Anyway, the game specs call for a 128Mb video card with support for pixel shader 2.0. I've seen two computers and the video cards are as follows.

Intel® GMA X4500 graphics (I know that this is not very good but it supports pixel shader 4.0 and has 512Mb.)

NVIDIA® GeForce 7100 graphics (I know NVIDIA is supposably good but this card only has 64Mb I think and I don't know about the pixel shader)



Which one will work and please don't tell me to update. I hardly have any money to buy a computer without updating unless you know a free way of upgrading. Please, please, please help me! I haven't got a clue. In fact everything I know about video cards is written on this page.|||Both, probably. But those are awful graphics chips. They're not even cards. You should most definitely get an actual card, with as much money as you possible can. Give us your budget, and I'll recommend. Or link to both computers.|||Your best bet is to NOT buy a pre-built computer. They're extremely over priced!!!

Check out www.NewEgg.com

You can always find better parts at cheaper prices at newegg.

If you think you can't build a computer from the ground up, you're wrong. It's extremely easy. Ever play with Lincoln logs? Erector sets? Legos?

It's all about following the instructions. Very simple... AND!!! Newegg ALWAYS offers the lowest price for GREAT parts. Most likely you're looking at spending $40 for a graphics card. I do believe you can get a nice GeForce 8500 GT for that price or even a 8600 GSO which will run ALOT of games, maybe not at the highest settings, but close enough.

So PLEASE do not buy pre made computers from major manufacturers!!!! They're only in business to rip you off.

Take the time to research the parts and how to put them together. It's VERY simple and WAY cheap. For 500 euros, I could build you one beautiful system myself... complete with everything, monitor, graphics card, mouse, keyboard, speakers. Just send me an email.
