Is it okay if I got a video card even thought the system requirements don't list my processor?

A Celeron is less capable than a P4 or Athalon. It's made for cheaper computers. It will probably work, but you might lose some of the higher functions the card is capable of and won't get it's full performance.

Go to settings, control panel, system... there it will show you your RAM and processor and operating system that you have installed.\n\nfor your video card, right click on your desktop, go to properties, then go to settings, then click advanced.. then click the tab for adapter.. this will show you all the details for your video card.

Briefly,\n\nMake sure the RAM is at least 1GB\nMake sure the numbers next to processor are at least 3400\nMake sure the Hard disk is at least 160GB\nand if u want good game performance, that graphics card is at least 256MB PCI-E

Get a 64/128 graphics card. Have enough empty space in C drive. If you can have around 1GB of page file and still enough C drive space. Almost all your games would run fine.

Run dxdiag. It should tell you about the RAM, CPU, OS(and build), and the DirectX version.

Your Chip set is NVidia nForce 410 and  Video Output Interface PCI Express, it depends on who much you want to spend on a Graphics Card, i would suggest GeForce 7 series

Generally it's not the case that a card is advertised as compatible with a list of games, but more often that a game supports a list of graphics chipsets.\nI have found \nhttp://www.tomshardware.co.uk/site/vgacharts/index.html\nuseful in determining the relative ability of graphics cards.\nEssentially, it comes down to how much you are able/willing to pay, within the constraints of which card type your mobo will support.  \nhttp://www.newegg.com/ProductSort/SubCategory.asp?SubCategory=48 is useful for filtering down the list of what's generally available.\nGood Hunting!

I'd get a high-end Alienware computer, if I could afford it. Whatever you get, I'd make sure it has a slot for an AGP or PCI Express card. It may come with an onboard graphics card, but if it does, I'd have a good one installed right away. Your computer is only as fast as your slowest component.

You need to go to my computer, then to the control panel, then to the performance and maintenance and performance. Then click on the system icon. Almost at the bottom of the page it will tell you what kind of processor you have, such as 2.9 ghz and beside that it should say something like 512 mb of ram. There you go, I hope I really helped.

The best thing to do is to identify the model of the motherboard. If you assembled the desktop yourself, you probably already knew it. If you bought it from, say Dell, call them or look up online. Get the specifications and you know exactly what graphic cards it supports.\n\nIf you cannot do it, open the desktop box and look what slot it has for video. You should be able to identify it easily.

I've set a bunch of people up with the E1505.  Depending on which graphics card you got, yes, most games will play fine on your computer.  In particular, WoW and CS will work fine.  If you skimped out on ram, you may want to install more.  But overall the E1505 is a sturdy machine, it should be able to run your games fine.

go to www.crucial.com.  On the right hand side, there is a program that scans your whole computer.  complete the scan.  It will let you know what your system's capabilities are and what you can add.\n\nEdit - All hardware is NOT compatible.  You need to know what your motherboard configuration is.  If you have an AGP slot and get a PCI-E video card, then it's worthless. Also if you upgrade your ram, you need to get the right RAM or else your computer will go haywire on you.

I will not suggest to buy a new processor or mother board. You can buy a graphics acceleration card. like G-Force (256 MB or 512 MB). I hope you will enjoy playing Call of Duty2.

This has nothing to do with the CPU.  It has everything to do with the graphics card(s) you use.  I'm easily able to do this with an NVidia GeForce 5200 with a single DVI and a single VGA output.  Some systems using ATI cards MIGHT require defining the "primary" monitor - only the primary monitor can display video with ATI cards I've seen.  This may hold true for dual video cards as well.

PNY Verto GeForce 6200 / 256MB DDR / AGP 8x/4x / DVI / VGA / TV Out / Video Card and  Diamond Radeon X1300 / 256MB DDR2 / AGP 8x/4x / DVI / VGA / TV Out / Video Card\nbut just buy a cheap pc with pci e

You should be able to access the card properties through control panel.  There you should be given a choice of acceleration methods.  If this does not have hardware acceleration listed as an option, it is probably either a low end 3d or 2d card.  Most 3d cards have an embedded heat sink that you can see when you look at it.  For ease of explaining, please visit my site below, and go to the computer talk section where you can see what a typical 3d card looks like.  If this is an older card, your game probably won't play right anyway.  Most games now require anywhere from 16-64 megabyte video, and a few newer ones as much as 128 megabyte.  For the best prices should you decide to replace the card please visit http://www.geeks.com and http://www.pricewatch.com  Both are good sources. \nYou can also go to Start> Programs> Accessories> System Tools> System Information to see what is listed as the manufacture and other info on your video card.  Hope this helps.

Try windows update\nhttp://www.windowsupdate.com/\n\ndo not go for express installs, but use it manually, there you should find drivers for video cards.\n\n\nIf that fails, try the vendor of your graphics card. They might have it (you didn't give details on which vendor it is, only the chipset)).\n\nBTW: The type of CPU is irrelevant.
