It sounds like a settings problem. Please check with O2 what the correct settings (username/password/proxies/DNS) are.


There is no graphics card in your MacBook - the system controller handles the graphics. There is nothing you could upgrade.

I don't know - your machine has the Intel X3100 integrated graphics with 144MB of shared graphics memory.

Any advanced 3d gaming is going to be painful with that card, but an older quake ought to run.

I really don't know about games, though.
