Oh and Nobot these people don't know what they say because I have a same gfx card and I can run any game no lag and canyourunit is stupid because it doesn't tell the right stuff.

It isn't 1.7gb, I'm not sure why but that site always says ram is really high on integrated graphics and some other graphic cards, I used to think it was because integrated graphics work off your ram so it posted ram but not really sure.

Hmm in that case thanks for telling that.
Nobot post your specs from dxdiag.

[Messes]

Hmm, $100. That would buy like, a GPU. That's it.  You'll need a PSU, a GPU, and a new processor. Around $200 to $300. Maybe less, I don't know. But for sure, not in the $100 range.

listen to this man

exactly what I had to do/did

[Nobot]

Hmm so it is 1.7GB (1k mb = 1gb, 696mb = 700mb)

I'd go sell the computer you have right now and go buy a new one.

It lists it like that because integrated graphics take a portion of the computers RAM to use as "DIY" VRAM, they also take a portion of the users CPU as a "DIY" GPU

Which works out great because CPUs are horrible for GPU work.

The exact reason why an integrated chip can never function as well as a proper card, regular RAM and CPU's lack the architecture to work as well as a GPU or VRAM.
Look at me, flaunting the limited knowledge of PC workings I have, I feel so smart

[LeetZero]

I have like $100

Games I wanna play with no lag.

1. Blockland
2. Minecraft
3. Audiosurf
4. Dead Island
5. Skyrim

1. 2. 3. will work fine on your new/old computer, I think.
4. 5. are out of discussion, not sure about lowest settings however..
