That does not show the mainboards actual model name. Can you have another look (maybe inside the case) for a model name and then report back. Also the PC Make and Model would be useful.

there are many cheap graphics cards that would be able to run CS:S!

I need the make and model of the mainboard. If you dont have this, try looking inside her case on the motherboard for this info when you can. You could also give me the make and model of her pc aslong as its not custom built.

on the mainboard, there should be a slot that is a slightly different size from the PCI (off white) slots. It should be either blue, white, orange, or some other variation. This tells us what type graphics card slot it has. (PCI express, AGP etc) Agp is usually brown.
