So I play WoW and have been getting poor fps for a bit.
Ran a test at http://www.systemrequirementslab.com.

says for Min settings i need Minimum: 3D graphics processor with Hardware Transform and Lighting with 32 MB VRAM (ATI Radeon 7200 or NVIDIA GeForce 2 class card or better)
You Have: Intel(R) 82915G/GV/910GL Express Chipset Family (Intel(R) 82915G/GV/910GL Express Chipset)

Also the reccomended is
Video Card Features - Minimum attributes of your Video Card

Video RAM: Required - 128 MB , You have - 128 MB
Video Card 3D Acceleration: Required - Yes , You have - Yes
Video HW Transform & Lighting: Required - Yes , You have - No
Vertex Shader Ver.: Required - 3.0 , You have - 0.0
Pixel Shader Ver.: Required - 3.0 , You have - 2.0


Heres my comp info. If it's possable I would like to replace the chipset instead of buying a new computer.

Buy an add-on graphic card, your PC has an onboard graphic adapter (Intel GMA 900) which perform below average in 3D Games. At least try GeForce 8400GS or something similar in PCI Express form.
