most likely it's the integrated 6150 SE graphics.

you need a dedicated graphics card. and when you get a graphics card, you will need a new high quality power supply; NO CHEAP POWER SUPPLY. total that up, that's about $300, give or take depending on what you get.

power supply: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139003

graphics card (assuming you have pci-e x16): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150304

yep. it's the 6150 SE. you won't play higher than 800x600 on it. you'll have to turn down most eye candy to get decent frame rates.

Another solution is to run it on XP via patches. You can't play online but the game single player mode works fine. It also works better on the graphics end.

Holy S***, Dude, you can get anything with that!
The 9800 GX2s. Basically the best.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductLis...800+GX2&x=0&y=0

The 9800 GTX. One level down but runs everything no problems.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductLis...800+GTX&x=0&y=0

The 8800GTs. What most people have. Best price/performance ratio. Runs everything on Max except Crysis.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductLis...cription=8800GT

Also see all the other 8800s such as 8800GTS, 8800GTX. It goes 8800GTS<GT<GTX

The 8600 is also really good for really cheap. It will run many games at High to Max. Halo 2 will be maxed out easily.

just make sure you have a PCI-E slot in your computer and that it has a big enough power supply. What computer is it?
