My brother is getting hooked on playing battlefield2 on my computer, he now wants to upgrade his computer to play it as well. He's got a 2.8ghz p4 400fsb on a micro atx mobo, the problem is that it doesn't even have an agp or pci-e slot only the old pci slots. He's just 16 years old so he doesn't have much money at all to throw at this. The case is also an issue because its just tall enough to fit the m-atx mobo so i dont think a standard size one will fit, the psu is only a 250w. He has $200 to throw at this thing with a little chipped in by me, is it possible to get this thing running up to speed.

If it is possible with the "available" pci vid cards today. The performance will be good as molasses. Sorry to say, but that's the truth. He'll be better of on investing to an xbox360.
