would this work, but just upgrade the memory?

With this card:

ATI Radeon™ Xpress 200 integrated graphics
Up to 128MB of shared video memory

Certainly not.

can I upgrade the card?

no

If you're willing to buy the card separately and install it, or have a tech install it for you, then yes, you can upgrade it.
EDIT: You still probably won't want to buy that computer, as the memory is capped at 2GB - the motherboard won't let you install more.

no offense man but the Idea of trying to run anything gaming wise on a Emachine is a bad idea. I honestly don't think you would have much luck

not mentioning if you did try the upgrade it yourself = void warranty

what graphics card could I upgrade to?

Build your own computer man, ETW will tear that one apart.

Don't have the money and getting this one for free from my bro. As long as I can run this game on low to medium setting i'll be fine. Just need to uprade RAM to full 2gigs and a new graphics card. I'll need your guys help on the graphics card tho not sure what to upgrade it too, I have $150 dollars.

it wont run on low or atleast it wont run smoothly.. u can play mtw (1 not 2) at an acceptable framerate. but overall that system blows tbh, not that i expect different from an emachine

And when it comes to upgradeing those, its simple... you CANT. The way the company builds them they leave 0 room for upgrade instead forcing you to purchase more expensive models.

Build your own, you can build a veryy capable gaming rig for around 3-400

Ok i can tell you right now from a person who has been doing this for a LONg time.

You might (and i use that term VERY lously) be able to run it on low.

Reason-

Intel® Celeron® D Processor (people with p4d reported problems trying to play with this proc.. ie 3+min per turn if you get taht far)

512MB DDR2 (you need at lest 1gig to run this at all)

ATI Radeon™ Xpress 200 (i seriously doubt this will even launch the game)

Powersupply - emachines and most budget computer companys (think hp and so forth) always skimp on the powersupply. Expect a 200watt or less in that emachine, you need at lest 400watt if you plan on upgrading

PCI Express (PCIe x16) slot available - At lest it has that...
