I'm looking for the best GPU for an Intel core 2 duo. I'd like it to be in the price range of £50 - £110. It's 1.87GHz and is on windows 7. the screen resolution is 1920x1200. The RAM space is 1gb but I'm in the process of getting more.
Sorry but that's all information I really know about the computer.
Please could someone help.

Yeah I've just installed speccy and it gave me this info on summary:

Operating System - Windows 7 professional 32-bit SP1

CPU - Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 @ 1.86GHz
Conroe 65nm Technology

RAM - 1.00GB Dual Channel DDR2 @ 332MHz (5-5-5-15)

Motherboard - Hewlett-Packard 0A60h ( XU1 PROCESSOR)

Graphics - EA241WM (1920x1200@60Hz)
Intel Q965/Q963 Express Chipset Family (HP)
Monitor BPP - 32 bits per pixel

Hard Drives - 75GB Seagate ST380815AS ATA Device (SATA)

Optical Drives - ATAPI DVD DH48C2S ATA Device

Is there any way then that I can get a better graphics system so I can play games on this computer? As I think the Graphics and RAM are the problem.
Thanks

You'd need at least 4+ GB's of RAM (DDR3), preferably 8 which requires a 64bit OS (for 8gb's). That also requires a new motherboard to be able to use ddr3. And a more recent CPU, and if you dont upgrade all of them, the GPU will be bottlenecked.

Thanks for all the info, I think I might just look into getting a new computer. I'm looking at Quad Core AMD Bulldozer FX-4100 4.0GHZ 1TB HDD 8GB DDR3 RAM USB 3.0 HDMI, VGA, DVI HOME DESKTOP COMPUTER PC 1000GB Memory
Do you think this would be good for gaming?

If you mean by small chip, the processor (CPU) then yes. The 8320 is a downclocked 8350, which is on par with the 4670k (roughly £100 more than the 8320).
