Ok i figured out what graphics card is in my computer.
nVIDIA GeForce 6150SE with 512MB memory.
Is it any good, if i upgrade the driver will it work better, and can i upgrade to a better one for a reasonable price??

Ok, My card isn't much better..But we both have pretty basic cards and if you're happy to spend the cash, I would definitely upgrade...I have no idea on prices, sorry Keep in mind the sort of things you mostly use your computer for..If you just play Haulin and it runs fine, I'd keep it - But you most likely want to be able to play better games that are best enjoyed with better hardware I hope I have helped and not offended or anything Cheeers

i recommend the Nvidia GTX295 for great performance but if you are after cheap carn't go past the 9800GT 1gb of ram and they are reasonably cheap atm. P.S Stick with Nivida cause there is some great Nvidia shit coming out soon

yeah cause there R&D Sucks **** and didn't want to perfect something before selling it off cheap.
look i suggest hold off for this Nvidia Fermi there new Graphics card. 512 CUDA Cores 256 Double Precision Floating Point 4 SFU cores and ECC Memory oh and 3 Billion transistors
basically this is the basic technology that will allow there to be graphics card with 6GB+ of RAM and could eliminate the reason to have a CPU cause with that many floating points you can use the CUDA cores as CPU cores.
