I currently own a Compaq Presario SR1103WM (look it up on Google, it's ooooooold...) It was purchased in 2002 I believe. Anyhow, I was curious as to what I can do to run Left 4 Dead (as well as any future games). I don't want to spend too much on it though, with Christmas around and Black Friday. Right now I'm stuck with a PCI Radeon 9250. I can play CS:S & HL2 pretty well, but it does lag in spots... and loading is long. I know for a fact the card I own is at it's best for PCI cards (since PCI is dead). What can I do to get an AGP or PCI-Express card in my computer? (I'm not too savvy on building computers, but I do know what the parts are). My current specs are:
I would really appreciate if a techy could direct me in teh right path of either upgrading, or purchasing a new PC. If this PC is able to be upgraded into a gaming PC, I would love to do just that since I know the layout of this PC.
