IBM NetVista Help with graphics card

Hello, I'm new to the forums and very noobish when it comes to PCs, being a Mac User.

I recently got an IBM NetVista with a Pentium 4 Processor 2.53Ghz. I really want to play games on it (I want to use it for school, too), but the games I want to play need a computer with Vista with a Graphics rating of 3.0, but the IBM only has a rating of 1.0. Is there a way to make the graphics rating better, without having to buy a new PC or building one. This would really help. Thanks!

-Dan

There is a way to manually change the numbers...Getting a newer/better video card would be the way to go.

I did manually change the numbers, but it did nothing. I don't know how much the new graphics card will raise the Windows experience Rating. If it'll raise it to 3 or more, I'll be glad. Is there a card that will do that? I don't want to spend too much. Thank!
