Should I upgrade my drivers, or get a video card?? O_o?

I really don't get this but here's how this goes, so I wanted to play Dragon Age: Origins, but suddenly, it said, "failed to detect video card" , I asked 2 of my computer tech-y friends, one said to buy a new video card, the other said to upgrade my drivers. Someone else told maybe I should get a new computer. I'm really confused here. I really don't know what to do, but my computer is HP Pavilion a6642p , please help!!!!!! O_o I really don't want to waste money.|||Well, this PC is not really for gaming (Graphics wise), you could get a new video card for around 60 or so that will give you the graphics you need for most games. But if you want something to last for future games, you might want to pay around 100-120. i reccomend a GeForce card. check this website for different cards, then email me what idea you have and i can tell you if it will work or not.

look for these names; EVGA, XFX, BFG tech.

And look around, again, if you want something that lasts and isnt TOOO pricey, you might have to spend around 100-200.|||According to the specifications of your computer, it has an integrated graphics card controller from intel model GMA 3100. Nevertheless, according to the system requirements for the game you need at least an nVidia GeForce 6600 with 256MB or an ATI Radeon X850 if you are running Windows XP and at least an ATI Radeon X1550 256MB or NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT 256MB if you are running Windows Vista. Therefore it looks like your system does not meet the minimum system requirements.



Even if you manage to run the game with the Integrated Card, it won't have a good performance for a great game experience and it is recommended you get an PCI Express x16 video card. The game recommends the GeFoce 8800GTS or ATI Radeon X1550.



I hope you find this information useful.|||System requirements are list down the right side of this page:
