I don't have the money to build a new PC. I do have the money to buy a laptop, but I'm checking if this is a better route. It's pretty old, so I'm unsure. Would it be possible to use a gt 440? And does anyone know the Motherboard of this computer, I've been looking. Thank you.

your Computer is very old it is ancient 2004 9 years old with AGP card slot.

dont pay anything on it. ZERO NADA

if you insist however , get and AGP card from ebay ...

the best AGP card that was released is the HIS Radeon HD 4670 IceQ AGP dont pay more than 50$ max for this one on ebay and make sure it is AGP

it needs 59 watts , so it will work on any PC with 250 watts power dont worry

and the next to it is the PowerColor Radeon HD 3650, 512MB DDR2 AGP is worth like 25-30$ on ebay

where do you live?

I live Minnesota, I'm planning to upgrade the ram to 2GB, that's the max it'll take (I've seen). Well this be capable of running League of Legends without bottle necking?

yes it will work , get the HIS Radeon HD 4670 IceQ AGP , you said that you have the money to buy a laptop , how much money you can pay for laptop ?

maybe I can make you a pc using your HP case and power and harddisk for very low price and better than adding an old card. tell me please how much you can pay.

Edit : i found this on ebay , try to get it for $30-$35
