What is your computer, a laptop or a desktop?

What processor do you have, and what type of graphics card do you have?

Right click desktop > Properties > Settings
It should have the type of graphics card there.

It says " RAGE 128 PRO Ultra GL AGP " ...and i'm guessing thats the graphics card i'm using. By the way, does anybody know if there's downloadable software that improves graphics?

Yes it is called Drivers. Check out the ATI homepage to try to find newer ones for your card. Take care.
