You need to upgrade now! That graphic card barely handles Legions, trust me, I had it as well. Built my own machine with an i5 and an ATI Asus Directcu 6870 and no I have no problems at all.

if you are in london you should be able to get a much better internet connection than you have now, as yours is below the national average, you have worse internet than 3lionz!
your packet loss is atrocious, you should probably change ISP.

http://shop.virginmedia.com/check-your-postcode/ <- good ISP, enter your postcode to see what speeds you could get.

http://www.productsandservices.bt.c..._maxus_vidZ59_Broadband&vendorid=Z473&sissr=1 <-also good, (press "check speed" button & "i'm not a bt customer", then enter your postcode to see what speed internet you can get)

as for talking about your computer..... your CPU is okay(ish), but your graphics card will choke on legions (yes, i had one too) and will not run any modern games well (if at all).

it's time you probably got a new PC.
http://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/ <- these guys are good for cheap & well made custom PCs (including laptops)
http://www.dell.com/ Dell are also good if you want a no hassle computer, but as with most large pc makers, they have a habit of putting in a good processor and a poor graphics card for gaming.

don't go for a HP, their customer service is terrible, and they're also having an identity crisis.

if you need help in choosing a new pc, pop me a pm :)

If upgrading, you will need to see what voltage your power supply unit is. It is unlikely that your power supply will have the power, or even the cabling required to provide power to a modern graphics card. There is no point upgrading a machine that is most likely 4+ years old. Buying a new computer is your only option. You can get a good gaming computer for roughly £500. As Fissurez said, going here -> http://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/ is probably your best bet.

If you want to know what's really in your machine and how to build one, I'd go here: http://www.pcityourself.com/choosing/introduction.php. If you really want some expert advice, I'd come on IRC in channel #spek. (WITH TEH DOT) and ask me and Fissurez what is best for you.

i think the 7300 is AGP. i doubt you'll be able to find a graphics card significantly better than the 7300 that you could ACTUALLY buy. (you might be able to get one second hand,) and for the price its probably not worth it

i highly doubt there is such a thing. :(
for the price of a good AGP card, you mares well get a new pc and spend the same amount of money on something much better.

example (seriously, don't get it) : http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-li...ve=22278&creativeASIN=B002EL4PIG&linkCode=asm - radeon 4670 1GB -£100

for that price you could get a much newer graphics card that would run almost every game out on high settings.

all googly stuff points to PCI-E if so he has more options cos its dual core mobo so must belate AGP/ PCI
my radeon 9700...not as good as this one ran legions...8fps but still ran it
