I think people are hesitant to reply because of the scope of the answer required. First, simply adding in a faster video card won't improve your system's performance that much. You are very much limited by the original processor and how much memory. So, add the cost of a G3 card, memory, and say the ATI 128 video card together. Also, you don't say what version of the OS you are using (current games require a current OS) and how big the Hard disk is. Now, after doing all of that, your base computer is still a 6 year old system and will provide you marginal performance. Given the total price of the upgrades and time to put it all together/trouble shoot, would you be better off buying a complete system ready to go out of the box?
