Modern Warfare 2 on my PC

There is nothing wrong with your CPU, it is fine to play the game. However, the issue may lie with your graphics card which may scrape by playing the game on low settings but I'd strongly recommend you look into buying a dedicated graphics card.

Could you recommend any to me please?

Preferably under £60 if possible.

If your board takes PCI-E (tell us the board and we'll find out): http://www.ebuyer.com/product/173705
(I am told that this card will run MW2 with ease apparantly)

If your board does not have PCI-E (it'll have AGP): http://www.ebuyer.com/product/179446
(Quite similar, and will fit an older AGP board)

Okay, since I cannot find my motherboard information, this is my PC:
Packard Bell IMEDIA D2315 AIO
2GB RAM version

Your motherboard supports PCIe. Use the top link in my previous post.

By the way, in the future, if you wanted to upgrade your processor, your motherboard will support upto a socket 775 Core 2 Quad. If you did want to upgrade, for a reasonable price, I'd recommend http://www.ebuyer.com/product/167118

Thanks mate +Rep!

Could you give me a brief about installations please?

Do you have to solder things? Or is it all just screws etc.

Make sure you don't install it and give it to your parents or brother.

It will slot into place and you'll screw it securely.

Your sarcasm is barely funny. - Considering some parts are soldered. :rolleyes:

You don't need to solder it. All the board connections that need soldering will have been done when the card was manufactured.

Basically, find the PCI-E slot (this will likely be the top slot available), unscrew the side of the case, remove any blanking plates covering the slot. Then, place the card firmly in the slot, screw it in, then close your PC case. If it all boots up correctly, install the drivers. Then, disable your on-board graphics using the BIOS.
