Intel 810 based chipset? :/ those suck. Try to see if your mobo has a pci or agp slot, and if it has, buy a new gfx card. geforce are good. you can get a gf2 ti very cheap, or a gf4 mx, or a gf3 ti.
windows me: Oh dear me! ME isn't very good at all! 98 is, in fact better. Go back if you can.
lol i have a intel 810 yea they totally suck man, they dont even have a agp slot
heh im gettin mine upgraded to athlonXP 2000mhz, 256 DDR Ram, 20GB Hd and possibly a geforce 4 ti 420
i wouldnt bother with windows 9x based Os' they are so unstable.... i used to have a crash every few days with 98se. Get windows xp.. it has extreme stabability, beutiful interface, better Ram management, more features, faster speed and its compatable with everything ive tried with it.
Ive had my computer on for weeks and i havent had one crash with win xp

the only real thing u gotta do is upgrade ur drivers and get the larest aspi drivers.
b4 ppl start flaming me i do like win 98 in terms of compatability, but otherwise it sux. Win 9x is for the last millenium... and thats my 2 cents.
As for getting a new graphics card, dont bother until u got a motherboard that supports AGP. PCI graphics cards dont perform as well as AGP.
And if u are going to upgrade get an Athlon processor.... they are cheaper and run faster than intel.... benchmarks prove it.
