the AMD IGP will beat the Geforce 210 for sure even if hobbled by ram

Iron's build is pretty as good as it's gonna get, if you can get another 4GB of ram for dual channel, it will help a lot

Something like this I guess

she is gonna have a tough time playing certain games without a graphics card. she will be extremely limited. you should add something like the asus en210 to iron124's build. its extremely cheap and will make her experience better as she will be able to play more games than what the integrated graphics allow. im not very knowledgeable when it comes to low end cards but if you look around you can find what your looking for. im pretty sure anything will be better than the integrated graphics.
