It's a single core Pentium 4.

Without knowing what kind of slots it has (PCI-e, AGP, etc.) I'ts impossible to say what Kind of viseo card it can take.

You won't be able to do a lot with this as far as games go.

It has a P4 on an Intel 875 board - CPU probably not upgradeable

The system has an AGP slot, AGP is decreasing in popularity (i.e. it's dead but you can probably still upgrade the video card a bit).

Maximum memory is 4GB.

You have a decent running Pentium 4 system and that's it.

That PC is too old to play any games. You can't really upgrade it as it's so ancient, so your best bet is to get a new PC if you want to play games, rather than a 4-5 year old second hand one.
