Upgrade for PC

I have a HP 6645C and have been running NASCAR EA. It is 567mh celeron
and I have 64mb and the standard 8mb video intel810 on board. I have
instances running it when the frames on the screen will get too slow.
I doesnt happen all the time, mostly on short tracks with lots of cars
in front. Is this a NASCAR EA problem or my system. I am considering
upgrading to 256mb memory and getting a geforce2 64mb PCI video
card(no AGP slot). Will this upgrade help me run some of the new
Nascar Sims?

thanks in advance

That vid card is crushing you. ANY aftermarket vid card would benefit you at
this point imo. Get the GF2 (do they make those in pci versions?), just
remember, b4 your vid card was the bottle neck, now your processor will be.
I am going to guess you'll get 100% better image quality, and 300% increase
in frame rate ;) .

Also, the 566 celeron can o'clock a hell of a long way. If you can
find a jumper on the mobo to set id to 100mhz FSB, you may be able to
get 850mhz for free :)
