Welcome to the forums CsOwnage4.

Unfortunatly, that is not your Motherboard name...that is the brand of computer, and the product number.

As it is an IBM machine, i believe it's an M42...and as such, the only graphics cards you can handle are PCI ones and not any that will give you a graphical performance increase - which I assume that's what you're after with a name of CS Ownage

Sorry mate, but that computer isn't going to be getting any better with video cards.

Wait so even if I buy a graphics card i will not get a performance increase. As i said i have intel intergrated and they are terrible. There are no graphics cards that my computer can handle made by radeon or nvidia

The problem is, you've only got PCI slots...the last graphics card design for gaming on the PCI card was a geforce2, about 5 or 6 years ago. And ATI weren't around back then...not in force anyway.

Any PCI video card you get now, will not bring your frame rate up anymore then maybe 2fps...that's a big maybe.

Unless I'm mistaken, and it has an AGP port on the board...and even then, the case it's in is a small form factor...so the best you'd be able to do would be an x300....if you could find it...and find it in AGP...

Sorry I don't have better knews for you dude.
