You know that you can get $100-and-under refurb PCs with Windows 7 included, right? Like at http://www.arrowdirect.com/ and http://www.newegg.com/ ?

Edit: If you get one, get a 3.0Ghz Core2Duo or better (either faster, or a Core2Quad 2.4Ghz or faster), and at least 2GB of RAM, 4GB or 8GB is better.

Then drop in one of those video cards from EVGA B-stock, and you could have a rocking low-end gaming rig for under $200. (Be careful of the form-factor of the refurb PC. Some of them require "low profile" video cards.)

WoW is giving the GF6100 a work out & it's really old. Larry has recommended what I would. Get yourself a cheap video card & install it. System really needs more ram too.
 
Thanks Burpo. Good point on the RAM, if it's DDR2... I didn't know that they made modules of DDR2 that small. Should be able to find a 2GB x 2 kit cheap enough somewhere used. Should help A LOT.

I was thinking about getting a new graphics card, and RAM upgrade isn't a bad idea at all, I'll have to see the price a 1 or 2 gb of RAM.

I bought a 2x1GB kit DDR2-800 for 8 euros and a 2x2GB kit DDR2-800 for 23 euros from ebay about a month ago.
Edit. Not trying to sell you the RAM (I need it!), just letting you know the current memory prices.

I forgot to mention that I'm using 3D Analyze, to emulate my GPU, so maybe this could lead to a completely different problem.
