In doing some research into my D3 graphics problems (unreadable ingame 
menus, weird textures, and texture blocks following the target reticle 
around, etc.), I have found people that mention that Intel motherboard video 
chipsets are the cause for messed up graphics in D3 under WinXP SP2.

Does anybody have any experience or opinions on this?

Unfortunately, I purchased an inexpensive Compaq Presario that doesn't seem 
to have a slot for an AGP card.  However, it does have open PCI slots.  Is 
there such thing as a PCI video card?  If so, can one install such a card to 
upgrade or augment a motherboard video chipset?

Thanks in advance for any help, advice, and/or opinions.
