put your service tag in there (the thing usually on the top of your case or on the back that is 7 characters)

copy the output and paste it here

there were many variations of the e510 made.

A P4? What do you need the video card to push? If you're looking to play games with heavy graphics requirements (Crysis, etc.) your money would best be put toward a new system that you build yourself.

you have a radeon x600 xt 256mb pci-e card

with a p4 and 1gb of ram, a new graphics card isnt going to improve anything - the biggest bottleneck you've got right now are the two aforementioned items.

^Like he said, that P4 and 1GB of RAM are slowing you down ... consider transplanting the video card to a new build.
