I own a Compaq Presario SR2025IL which was being used a computer for typing. Now it has been handed down to me and I want to upgrade its graphics card to make it a gaming computer. Any suggestions for a graphics card??

Thank you for the additional information and the link to your computer specs, @NeelCool.

 

Before making any recommendations, I want to let you know that your computer simply isn't cabable of being a  good gaming machine.  The biggest thing against it is the fact that the maximum memory is only 2 GB, DDR.  This is simply not enough to work with newer video intensive games.  Also, the only expansion slots are PCI and AGP.  They are very slow.  I would rather see you save your money and buy a newer computer when you can afford it.

You are welcome, @NeelCool.  I am not one to spend money on computers unless it is worth the price.  When you decide to buy a computer I will be glad to give you recommendations.
