well, the 200 series Xpress is about 9-year-old technology (I know, I have one in my box right now, just bought a HD6450 to upgrade, haven't got it installed yet.) Depends on if you're planning on any high-end gaming other than FM, which isn't really a demanding game, graphically.

PC System Requirements

OS: Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8

Processor: Intel Pentium 4 Intel Core AMD Athlon XP: 1.6GHz+ V/7/8: 2.2GHz+

Memory: 1 GB RAM

Graphics: NVidia GeForce FX 5900 Ultra ATI Radeon 9800 Intel GMA X3100 128MB VRAM

DirectX: Version 9.0c

Network: Broadband Internet connection

Hard Drive: 3 GB available space

Hmm...their system requirements ask for a $200 graphics card, that ain't happening any time soon for me.

Not sure where you get that $200 from

you only need any off GeForce 600 series really

I my self got the GeForce GTX 650Ti BOOST SC 2048MB for £98.00 in a sale . and that card will take me a good few years ahead before I need to replace it

So most cards from the 600 series and up will be ok from the GT 610 £20-£30

GT 620 £25-£34

GT 630 £45- £64

GT 640 £50- £70

GTX 650 £80-£140

PLUS

a lot of AMD Cards aswell

I only play Fm any cards that are better that will allow me to play with all the match engine features with no lagging?

throw that computer in the bin mate, if you can spare $500 I can skype with you and teach you how to build a gaming pc for that amount of money and find good parts.

2gb ram is horrible and onboard cards won't cut it.

What graphics slot do you have? If its a PCI-E get a Radeon 6750, good card that you can pick up for around £40. You can tell what slots you have by the below pic:

You are still going to have some bottleneck issues so Id still advise you get another 2gb ram min, pick one up for about £5-10 on ebuyer.

Yes... many.

Whether they work or not completely depends on your motherboard.

It probably won't make any difference because you only have 2GB of Memory and use Windows Vista.

*shudders*

He won't have an AGP slot. Nobody does. They haven't been added to boards since the end of the Stone Age.

First of all you should throw away Windows Vista, because with total of 2GB RAM, if you are using aero and have some background programs like skype, antivirus etc. it should take majority of your total RAM. Secondly, it is not really worth upgrading it. Not sure about computer prices in UK, but here in my country computer like bellow one, which would run Football Manager like for next 5 years cost only ~150 GBP, so really,not worth upgrading.

AMD Athlon II X4 645

4,00GB RAM

1024MB ATI Radeon HD 5570 (Gigabyte)

Windows 7 is much more optimized than Vista. Also you can try Windows 8, which uses a little less RAM and in games you will get 1-2 FPS more than Windows 7,but there are lots of people who don't like windows 8 because of UI.
