Hi bechera,
Welcome!
I don't think there's any way for us to know what hardware you have unless you tell us. You can boot a live knoppix system (iso available online)
http://www.knopper.net/knoppix-mirrors/
Pick a mirror close to you. Burn a DVD or make a USB flash drive with the iso. Boot the system from it. After you're into the live system, run
From my own system, one line from lspci reads:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation
GF119M [GeForce 610M] (rev a1)
If I want to know if that works with Linux, I just go to google and search for 'geforce 610M linux'. You can do that from within the live knoppix system, and even come here and ask questions if google is unclear.
