3D Hardware Accelerator video card

Hi
 
I have the dimension 4600c and i am trying to play Call of Duty 4. My computer won't recognize the disc. My display adaptor is intel(R)82865G graphics controller, RAM is 96MB, driver is ialmrnt5.dll and my CD/DVD is TEAC CD-W224E.
The system requirement for Call of Duty is:
 

SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS

English version of Microsoft® Windows® XP/Vista (Windows 95/98/ME/2000 are unsupported) Microsoft DirectX® 9.0c (included)

3D hardware Accelerator Card Required - 100% DirectX® 9.0c Compatible 128MB Hardware Accelerator video card and the latest drivers*

100% Windows® XP/Vista compatible mouse, keyboard and latest drivers

6X DVD-ROM Drive

HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS

CPU: Intel® Pentium® 4 2.4 Ghz / AMD® 64™ 2800+ / Intel® and AMD® 1.8 Ghz Dual Core Processor or better supported

RAM: 512MB RAM ((Windows® XP), 768MB RAM Vista®)

VIDEO CARD: NVIDIA Geforce 6600 or better or ATI Radeon® 9800Pro or better

SOUND CARD: 100% DirectX® 9.0c compatible sound card

HDD SPACE: 8GB of uncompressed free hard disk space (plus 600MB for Windows® XP/Vista swap file)

I have no idea what all of this means. Can someone PLEASE tell me if my desktop is able to upgrade to any of the requirements needed to play this game.

In a nutshell, the integrated graphics of your 4600s lack the power and features needed to run a game like COD4.
 
Run this program:
 
 
You need a half-height AGP slotted video card and sadly I could not find any cards powerful enough that I could recommend from ATi or Nvidia that would play COD4 at any level that would resemble satisfying.
 
You need a new computer and don't buy one of those slim line models.  The "slim" means slim chance of upgrading the machine with anything worthwile.
 
Good Luck
