please help me i really want to play this game and prove my dad wrong

One of the minimum requirements of Call of Duty is a 3D hardware accelerator card with full transform and lighting capabilities. The Intel 82810 Graphics Controller does not support T & L. Intel says so right on its website.

what about the game medal of honour allied assault will that work with my system requirements here are its specs

Windows XP, Windows Me, Windows 98, or Windows 95 (Windows 2000 and Windows NT are not supported)
450 MHz Intel Pentium II or 500 MHz AMD Athlon processor
128 MB RAM
8x CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive
135 MB free hard disk space (additional space required for Windows swap-file, DirectX 8.0 installation and GameSpy installation).
16 MB OpenGL capable video card using an Nvidia GeForce3, Nvidia GeForce2, Nvidia GeForce 256, Nvidia Riva TNT2, Nvidia Riva TNT, ATI Radeon, ATI Rage 128 Pro, ATI Rage 128, PowerVR3 Kyro II, or PowerVR Kyro chipset with OpenGL and DirectX 8.0 compatible driver
DirectX 8.0 compatible sound card
Keyboard & Mouse

your pc might be able to run that game, but u have just about the minimum specs mate, its might b choppy, maybe a pc upgrade

I'm not 100% sure but I think MOH uses transform and lighting too, although they don't list it in their requirements. If so, you could have trouble with it.

what is probaly the cheapest vidoe card i can buy that supports opengl and 3d hardware accelorating

I ran it on an FX-5500.... worked fine.
