I have an Onboard SIS Chipset Instead of a real Video card, If I buy a regular AGP or PCI video card Can I still put it on my computer?

But Let me Reboot and grab the Digits
 
Alright, well, you can add a card but the problem is your processor is single core and not even a very fast one. Basically it isn't going to do well on current games. You can add a card but I think that CPU is going to struggle with WoW although it may be playable. There are few cards to pick from for AGP ports at this point and they are more expensive than they should be. This would be your best choice;

Honestly you would be better off upgrading the system entirely rather than wasting money upgrading that thing. It really doesn't have to cost all that much to build a computer much, much better than what you have now. Just earlier I picked out some parts for someone else in a different thread so I'll just quote myself;
Something like this would do the job;

That total $233 before rebates and $197 after. Then you just need to add whatever video card you want.
The processor is a x3 but the chip is actually a quad core with one of the cores locked. The motherboard allows you to unlock the 4th core in the BIOS. It isn't guaranteed to work but the odds are very good(80-90%.) The power supply can handle any of the cards I mentioned and is modular for a less cluttered case. The ram is 4gb from a decent brand and DDR3 1600.
If you would like a case so you don't have to deal with swapping out the motherboards this one is serviceable and very cheap($23 shipped after the promo code);

Yeah thats what I was thinking as well My processor is garbage, but The only reason I Figured to try out that Card was because I Constantly get This error when trying to play

WARNING:
Can't Create New Surface
Out of Video Memory
This Program Will Exit

And the video card I'm getting is free from a family member so i figured might as well take it and throw it on. Is it easy to replace a processor or is it pretty much permanent?
