Re: New graphics card?
New games will still work. How good a new game runs depends on how good a card you buy, and how old the components are around it.

Re: New graphics card?
What game did you get?
How old is your current computer?

Re: New graphics card?
If you show us the link to the game and tell us what computer parts you have, we can probably see what the problem is (might not be the graphics card only?).
If you download this program, CPU-Z, it can tell you what PC parts your computer is made of if you don't know.
There is no virus or harmful software on it, it is safe.

EDIT: Nvm, the program doesn't show video card model, how annoying. Damn.

Re: New graphics card?
Some old games won't work with the new graphics cards. I know I have Homeworld: Cataclysm, and it only runs on one computer in my house, the oldest computer that I still use. Running it on any newer computers using either hardware or software 3d rendering causes it to crash.
That said, about 98% of games should be okay. You just have to worry about the few picky ones.

Re: New graphics card?
Anything new, that isn't one of those compact solid stated hard drive laptops. Trackmania does rock. I have no idea why that game isn't on any console other than DS.
Just an addition. If you are gonna get a laptop just get a dual processor, not those cheapy ones running. Its usually only a 100$ difference, but makes sense over the life of the laptop. You can always add ram, or get more HD space, but you can't change the processor. Well you can, but its a bitch.

Re: New graphics card?
Most new laptops on the market now have spec. way better than that minimal requirements
Don't know what your budget is but if you really wanted to haul it around spend the money on one that is under 5 pound. Most cheaper laptops (the common 15" screen ones) are 6+lb which is a chore to have it in all day esp. if you go for a bigger capacity battery (8 or 9 cells).
