seems like you only need a faster 3D card

the rest is fine

maybe a new ATI Radeon 8500/9000/9700, or a nVidia GF3/GF4 will do

just make sure you don't get the MX versions if you go for the nvidia GF4

Your mother most certainyl CANNOT take a p4

..also a 450mhz P2 is a lil long in the tooth... wait for christmas and ask Sanata for AMD Athlon XP+ CPU, Mobo, and DDR ram and a geforce 4... until then.... just hold on

Here is a list of supported processors using the latest bios upgrade. The listing I found shows a MS-6156VA. Check to make sure its not the BA/BX/ZX version...
