"Graphics Card Help Needed..."

Here is my current PC spec:

Intel Pentium 4
1.8GHz Processor
256Mb DDR RAM
40Gb Hard Drive
GeForce 2 MX 64 440 Graphics Card

And I have a friend who is getting the following for me for free:
http://www.pcworld.co.uk/store/ martprd.dll/store/pcw_page.jsp? BV_SessionID=@@@@0434895914. 1041624245@@@@&BV_EngineID= ccciadchdllgjlfcefecf gmdffgdghm.0&page=Product&sku=8076 71&category_oid=-15245

Intel Pentium 4
2.8GHz Processor
512Mb DDR RAM
60Gb Hard Drive
Up to 64Mb SIS 651GX AGP4x Graphics

But what is "64Mb SIS 651GX AGP4x Graphics"? What I need to know is what type of graphics card it is (GeForce or whatever) and if it's a GeForce, which model, as I want a GeForce 4 in it.

Onboard sound is not very good at all and takes up your memory to boot, if/when you get a new vid card then post and ask how to install it in the pc section as you will need to set up the bios on your pc to not boot from the onboard otherwise you will not get a picture on the new card, also chances are you do not have an AGP slot so you will need a pci graphics card, you will need to upgrade if you want to play any of the newer games well.

Which, I might add, is also a GeForce 4 card.

DAmnit!

If you want a good graphics card, the Excalibur Radeon 9000 Pro comes in at £83 from www.hitech.com.hk . Or, the GeForce 4 MX 440, if you must have a GF4.

A help? It is very easy to install a graphics card separately, you merely install it, install the drivers, change the configuration slightly or remove the onboard video drivers (I think...) so that the card is your primary option and away you go. It really is very easy. My PC (the one I got for Chrimbo bimbo) came with no OS, so I got plenty of experience messing around with the configuration settings.

And when I come to that, it really is a good idea for anybody to configure their PC to their own liking. The wealth of possibilities for things such as automatically switching off, etc. is quite staggering, and my keyboard rocks now that I've changed all the button settings :D.

It's an onboard graphics card which shares memory with the rest of the system. They don't come any cheaper, and no, it's not a Geforce4 :O)

Ignorance.

*Sigh*

Gimp.

Then again I could be wrong

Hey, no need for that you gimp!

Anyway, from what I eventually read I don't think it is a GeForce graphics card, so tough luck..
