IBM ThinkCentre Graphic Cards
I have a IBM ThinkCentre A50p "My Main Desktop" and looking to upgrade the Graphics card in it. It has a built in Intel Series 4 card which new games will not run on and require a Intel HD, ATi HD. What graphics card could I get? I looked at a ATi 2600 HD that meets the requirements of the new Games and cheap. And my IBM LCD monitors support DVI ports that the Card has. Im not a Hardcore gaming person, just wanting to play Diablo 3. If my IBM ThinkCentre S50 is newer, But I dont think it has a Graphics card slot since its a mini desktop and Im sure my IBM NetVista M41 and Aptiva can't go anymore, as they are maxed out on everything.

Pretty much and $50 -$70 PCI Express graphics card should do you just fine. Diablo doesn't require all that much cpu power.

Oopise, I spoke without researching.
So you have a P4, DDR1, AGP System right?
Newegg.com should be able to hook you up. Pretty much any modern card will smash your integrated graphics.
What are the GPU requirement for Diablo 3? It may want a DX-11 Capable card and if that is true, I am not sure if there are any DX11 capable AGP cards.

Re: IBM ThinkCentre Graphic Cards
Diablo 3 requires an HD grahics card, I got the highest card I can buy "nVidia GeForce 6200" for my ThinkCentre A50p and Diablo 3 Dont support that card. I may upgrade my motherboard in my other desktop then.

There is a Thinkcentre forum over at Lenovo's.
This here is a laptop forum, so you'd probably get better and more response there: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkCentre ... hinkcentre
