You'll have to puchase a video card (AGP or PCI, depending on your motherboard), install this and disable the onboard video in BIOS.

If you're wanting to play games, then you should upgrade.  Since your motherboard has the ATI Express 200 graphics onboard, there's an extremely good chance that it has a PCI-E graphics slot.  For ~$100, you'd probably be happy with an X1600 Pro: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?Category=38&N=2010380048+1069609641+1305520549+106790809+1067918889&Submit=ENE&SubCategory=48  an A1600XT: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?Category=38&N=2010380048+1069609641+1305520549+106790809+1067918888&Submit=ENE&SubCategory=48 an X1650 Pro: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?Category=38&N=2010380048+1069609641+1305520549+106790809+1067923258&Submit=ENE&SubCategory=48 or a 7600GS: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?Category=38&N=2010380048+1069609641+1305520548+106790717+1067920619&Submit=ENE&SubCategory=48\n\nBTW, ATI video cards have had the best performance since the debut of their 9700 Pro, about 4 years ago.

All looks fine except for your RAM, it is not enough to run XP hardly, it is reiculous to put that little RAM in a machine that has XP. The NVidia video 6100 GPU isn't too bad if you don't play games. I was actually fairly impressed with that chipset when I tried it out on a motherboard. An emachine might not let you upgrade graphics however. \nMain thing is RAM

Go to Majorgeeks.com and look for your upgrade program and download it for free. I can promise that you will find your answer there.

majibejito is right.  integrated graphics cannot be upgraded, they can be replaced.  Installing a graphics card is pretty easy and depending upon what you buy relatively cheap.  To do so you will need to determine what type of slot you have available (pci,agp,pci-e).  Check the computer mfr's website or the documentation that came with you computer.  Best type is pci-e then agp then pci.  Once you know what type of card you looking for you can purchase a card at Wal-Mart, Best Buy, Circuit City etc...  I personally prefer NewEgg.\nhttp://www.newegg.com/ProductSort/SubCategory.asp?SubCategory=48\n\nThis will give you an idea of what you are doing:\nhttp://www.mysuperpc.com/build/pc_install_video_card.shtml\nnot all video cards require extra power connections like the link shows.  Check the computer mfr's website for specific directions.  In most instances doing this will void the warranty for the computer so keep this in mind if it is relatively new.\n\nHope this helps.

you'll need to buy a video card, right now you have on-board graphics...  go with a ATI or N-VIDIA card

Upgrading drivers, espically on old computers, is a good idea.\n\nJust make sure you keep the old ones also, incase you have issues.\n\nBut most of the time newer drivers make things work better.

Upgrade your graphic card. Get one which has atleast 128mb vram.

First make sure you can disable the intergrated graphic controller before you buy a new graphic card. \n\nNext you need to make sure that it is the right Bus like PCI or PCIe. I have even seen some computers come with intergrated graphics only to keep the price down, but also inlcude a AGP slot in case you wanted to upgrade later.\n\nAfter thats  decided then you should get the most recent one ATI or Nividia. Because there are newer features that games use(example: shaders). Other then that just make sure the one you order says retail or boxed version. Because you don't want to end up getting a cheap card that's sent in a bag with a burn cd for the drivers.

You should be able to boot up using a default mode on your display then upgrade.\n\nAlso, the display should be there, look under control panel->display->settings.

update your video drivers on your computer.  That is after you make sure your hardware is direct x 9 capable.

You would need to get a hold of Gateway...but I am sure they would not be of much help. All their motherboards are proprietary and only work with special memory, power supplies and cases.\nYou cannot upgrade it...do yourself a favor and get a new computer.\nI was working on a piece of junk Gateway Performance model from the year 2000. After the hard drive and CD burner went out and were replaced, the power supply went out and it ended up that the damn motherboard literally went up in smoke. \n\nAlso if you want to upgrade in the future get a computer that will allow you to with standard components.

You really do not need to anything before.  Just unplug the old one.  Install the new one.  Install the drivers for the new one if needed.  Configure the resolution and color settings.  Thats should do it...\n\nPS: Make sure you video card will have the proper connectors; DVI or VGA or Both.
