Welcome to the forum... kick off the shoes and stay a while.. although the X1300 is ok.. there are much better cards out there.... what is your budget and we can help you pick a better card... I'm also assuming you have 512MB ram.... if you wish to play BF2 I would highly suggest 2GB of ram... but if nothig else.. at least 1GB... may I suggest some thign along this line?

just because it's 512MB doesn't mean it's batter... how about this one?

you can also look at this to get an idea of the baseline differences...

OK, the last card Nukem listed will work in the comp you posted... but WHY go with a Socket A? The Socket A died out a while back.

What price range are you looking at, as far as computer and/or graphics card?
