This is the Card:

Don't expect miracles, but you'll notice a very significant improvement in performance.|||That card is really not so great. If you paid just a little bit more and got the Radeon HD 5670, you would find it is much better performing card than the 5570.

Also, with only 1GB of system RAM, you aren't going to do well with any card. You need at least 2GB preferably 4GB.
