I would definitely upgrade the GPU.

You can get a Nvidia 9800GT or a HD 5750 for a pretty good price right now.  Take note that when/if you do, you'll have to upgrade your power supply unit too.

Your machine will barely run the game. You will have tons of lag and the game will be choppy.

First off your video card is intergrated into your motherboard which is bad. It draws its memory from the 2 gig you currently have. You would have to upgrade your video. Do you have an open PCI express slot (Blue in color)? If not, an open AGP slot (Dark brown in color)? If so, you may be able to upgrade you video card, but you will also need to upgrade your power supply, as I bet it's only around 300 watts. Very important you contact E-Machines and ask them if you can upgrade your PSU. I know for a fact Dell computers you can not upgrade the PSU. Last thing you want is to fry your motherboard. For video card I would recommend at least a GeForce 8800 GT.

Also upgrading to 4 GB of RAM is best. You be lucky if you have 2 open slots for this. I bet you don't though, so you may need to get 2 sticks of 2 GB each.

For the cost of these three things it may not be worth it as your pc is around 400. Best to buy another pc or better yet, build your own.

I think your best bet would be to go shell out the cash for a better PC. Walmart has some awesome sales right now, I believe they have a nationwide one on an E Machines desktop with a 750gb HDD, 4gb DDR2 RAM, an Intel Turion X2 Ultra Processor. Don't remember anything about video etc.

Intel Doesn't Make Turions. Thats AMD. And Even Those Are Pretty Bad . ¿
