    eMachines lists no BIOS upgrades.

    http://www.emachines.com/support/pro...es&model=W4885

    You could try to track down the motherboard & try that route.

    This scan will show the board under Main Circuit Board

    Why do you feel the need to update?

    Ok ive been told the wrong thing sorry about that, I have another question where or what do i go to buy/download ( I dont know if you put it in your computer or download it) a new Graphics Controller/Driver
    I need another one to play Guild Wars, can you suggest one? Sorry i know nothing about graphics drivers and what not i just need advice.

    Your computer had onboard graphics originally.

    Intel® Extreme Graphics integrated

    http://www.intel.com/products/chipsets/eg1/

    Game compatibility here:

    http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/CS-010470.htm

    It is unclear if that is sufficient for your game as it is not listed either way.

    ____________________________________

    To upgrade you would need to add a Graphics Card.

    You can most likely choose any compatible model but eMachine recommends these:

    Video Controller nVidia FX5200 4X/8X AGP 128MB DDR TV + DVI VAEV8A8N306L 89.95
    Video Controller nVidia FX5200/5500 4X/8X AGP 256MB DDR TV + DVI VAEV6A8N307T 129.95

    Your processor is excellent.

    Another 512 of RAM might make a difference but only if you are currently using 100%.

    You can view this via the Task Manager | Performance | Physical Memory

    The speed of your hard drive & the free space would also have a bit of impact.

    The most important issue by far is the graphics card.
