They call 'em virtual graphics cards...take up part of the processors power...little bastrads they are...

I think you might mean integrated. I've got an integrated 64mb intel POS and I play WoW fine.

but i dont have WoW, so onto my original question, is there any good online free mmorpg

Guild Wars.... well it has no monthly fee like all the others, but you still got to goto a store and buy it. Now stop being a cheap ass and go!

I suggest dropping about $50 for a pretty good video card.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814153019 if you have AGP slots on your motherboard.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102354 if you just have PCI slots.

Oh...don't get Dom started on graphics cards...he has the worst luck with them...yet he can't be bothered to fork out £60 or £70 to buy a proper up to date one and have it installed.

Have it installed?

Step 1: Take screws out of back of case and take case off.
Step 2: Plug card into AGP or PCI slot. It won't fit in the wrong slot, so don't worry about that.
Step 3: Put case back on.
Step 4: Turn on your computer.*
Step 5: Install drivers from the CD that came with the video card.

*If you're running on-board video currently, and you put in an AGP video card, you have to go into bios and tell it you're going to be using an AGP card. It's not too difficult--just another step you can't forget about.
