Sorry but it does not look good. ;(

Under: Expansion Slots: there is neither AGP nor PCI_E which are the current standard.

You can still find PCI graphics cards but they are so limited that I doubt that they would be any better than your on-board chip-set.

So your pretty much saying that I'm screwed...

I'm saying that that computer's hardware base (motherboard) is just not up to the 3D requirements of the software.

See what this scan says about Maple Story in particular:

It all seems ok, apart from the Video Card which is way under the minimum requirement.

I was wondering if you could tell me how to upgrade it?

- If I bought a new one and replaced the old one, would that work?

You could always try of course. It would be a PCI card. NOT PCI_E.

Ok, thanks again for your help.

No problem. Let us know if we can help further.
