Its the reason why i cant play all the new games wich makes me so pissed..

I had the same thing with my old computer. Only way to play games which require Shader Model 3.0 is to get a new graphics card. All the newer cards have shader model 3.0 or 4.0.

My old card was

Radeon 9800XT BRAVO with shader model 2.0, I couldn't play assassin's creed, bioshock, GRID etc

My new card is

Radeon 4850 with shader model 4.1 I believe, now all the games work:closedeyes:

If you really want to buy a new card, I would suggest the ATI Radeon 4850, it's very very good for it's price - $179.99. Great card and low price.
Tho, looking at your specs, you should just buy a new PC xD

That's a very small amount for a graphics card that good, good luck trying to find a cheaper good card =P.
Anyway, as I said, your computer is very outdated, you should buy a new one:thumbup1:

I don't see how throwing more money away on your 360...ELITE is going to solve your PC problem.

Yes, but when comparing performance with price any 48*0 is a great deal.

*Edit*

A 9800 GTX costs closer to £200 these days.
