Can I buy a video card?

[ohnims]

Hi, I just bought a new comp from costco.
Although it was cheap, I thought it was a good deal.
But problem was the graphics card.
It has NVIDIA 6150SE on it, and I can't run new games.
so I was wondering if I can buy a different graphics card, eg, 7600 GT
and just put it inside the computer and make it work, or I can't do that.
Thanks!

Done!
one more thing, is that on the box it said 3gb of ram, but why does it say
it only has 2gb of ram? :S

Well that's strange.

If you right click on "My Computer" what does it say?
By the way the true reading of Ram is in system CMOS (when you start the computer

Use a program like CPU-Z or SIW (Google for them) to find out if you have an AGP or PCI-Express (not PCI) slot. If you have either, you can buy an appropriate graphics card. The 7600GT is a good one for AGP but if you have PCi-Express, the 8600GT is a better idea.

Going out on a limb here, is this your PC? If it is, you will be able to upgrade your VPU. Your current VPU is integrated and you have a PCI-E x16 slot free.
