No matter what how powerful processor, or size of hard drive, if you do not have a good monitor and video card you experience will be disappointing. Think about it if you have a cheap CRT monitor, you will get a substandard picture. This holds true for the video card.If you are pulling your video single from your motherboard, you are loosing performance. Don't expect a optimal experience. By adding a PCI Express video card you adding memory back to your computer and giving memory dedicated to your visual experience.
As newer video cards come out with increase in speed and power the slower card go down in price. Today, a good video card will set you back around $60 to $125. The visual experience will be noticeable. Your computer will be faster.
I recommend the XFX 8600 GT for several reasons. The price won't empty your wallet. It has a double life time warranty, which means that if you sell your computer the warranty transfers to the individual to whom you sell it. This card has dual out puts. Depending upon your monitor, there is a VGA and DVI outputs. In fact, you could connect two monitor to this card.
