Computer help
tried playing starcraft online a little while back, and i lagged
i thought to myself WTF? starcraft is an old game, so it doesnt need much to make it run fine, but yet my computer lagged while playing online
my computer ran fast, i always kepted it clean, my net was fast, i have a dsl connection, so i wanted to know why it lagged, i noticed there was a performance icon thing in my control panel so i clicked on it
and this is what it tolded me

MY computer scored a 1 in gaming graphics, WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!
everything else seem to be running fine
IM a noob when it comes to computer hardware, so i was woundering if anyone knew how to fix this?
or maybe recommend and kind of graphic card or something like that? if that is what i need, then can someone tell me or show me tips for what kind of specs i need to look for when im shopping for one?
or do i need a video card or something? (i have no clue what im talking about)
if this helps any, i think this is a newer version of my computer
