I have a stock Dell Dimension3100 computer, got it 2 years ago. Only thing I have ever changed/added was more RAM..... I bought COD:4 yesterday, and after installing, get the error that everyone else gets..

Error during initialization:
Video card or Driver doesn't support UBYTE4N vertex data.

I went ahead and bought a semi-cheap one from Staples, get home, open my computer to see my old Video card was HARDWIRED on to my motherboard....

So my question; can I install this new Video card? Is my computer not capable at all of playing this game?

Not sure how to get my comp specs, but here is what I gathered;

Intel(R)
Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz
2.79 GHz, 1.99 GB of RAM

is what it says in System Properties.

Help, please! :)
