"I'm stupid and need help"

I want to play Rome:Total War but my PC is pretty rubbish and rejected the demo I tried to play.

Anyway, most of the specs are fine but I'm pretty sure my graphics card is next to useless. So, help me pick a new one... how hard is it to install without me killing myself?

Yeah, a new graphics card is probably necessary to play Rome, pretty much anything PC World sell would do. Some more RAM wouldn't go amiss n all.

Oh my I have some sort of Intel(R) crap with lots of numbers.

Right click on desktop -> Properties.

Click on the Settings Tab, then Advanced. The graphics card type and the amount of video memory it has should be listed on the Adaptor tab of the dialog that appears.

Ho hum, i've always been pleased with the service.

Hehe one shop I will NEVER return too. Took my cash immediately after taking my order, the graphics card which they said was in stock, kept promising me I'd get it the following week, week after week, changed the prices of the bundles in the meantime (far better socket 939 bundle at a cheaper price), only allowed me to change my order when I threatened to cancel, split my order, promised me everything but the card on the next saturday, didn't arrive for 2 weeks, continued to promise me a ultra, until I decided to cut my losses and take a gt as my current card died on me. The Ultras came in stock a month and a half later. From placing the order of which they had stock online till getting my heavily modified order? 3 and a half months. Please note, they assured me the stock was in on the original order placement.

I had nothing but trouble from them, and a mate is going through virtually exactly the same experience...................

No idea, I've tried to find it.

All I could get was I have 256 mb ram, 2.2 Ghz processor.

Or AGP. Whichever! ;) lol

What spec is your computer, in particular the graphics card?

Ah, that will take time and then I will have lost interest.
