Up until recently I've been using a very battered old PC, riddled with problems, but with 2GB of RAM and an Nvidia 6800 card. This xmas, I got a computer from a relative and I was glad to make the switch. It has an integrated graphics card, some PCI slots and one AGP; I don't know what type. The motherboard didn't have a slot for my old video card and I didn't mind until now.
I'm looking to start playing Heroes of Newerth closed beta. Recommended specs:
- Processor - 2.0GHz Core 2 Duo / AMD 3500+ or faster
- RAM - 1.5GB or higher
- Video Card - 256MB Geforce 7800+ or Radeon X1900+
Unfortunately I don't know anything about hardware. Needless to say, I'd be very grateful if I could get some help on these forums. I looked over the Guide to Video Card Upgrades thread... don't have much time and feel that I am way over my head here, so here are some shots of my specs. I hope you guys don't mind.
The AGP slot. Going by Wikipedia, I think it's AGP 1.5V.

Just finding out what kind of slot I have on this PC would be enough for me, but if you guys could recommend a video card as well, that would be awesome. I live in Canada and my budget is around $100, +/- 50.
