Look, my friend has a GF2 GTS, an athlon 700 with 512 megs of ram... when he runs the game at 1024x768, its choppy... well. around 30fps.. (which is choppy, mind you)

so, with a (excuse me) pathetic ATI RAGE 128, you dont stand a chance at that game.

Hey I'm interested in buying a video card but I wanna know what my computers specs are. I don't know if this is my video card or not butis a Intel 82810 Graphics Controller a video card? I also looked around and saw that no pc card sockets are installed. I also have 128 Ram. Can you guys help me? I'm looking for a video card that's less then 100 dollars. I can run Deus Ex with minimal problems. I think I either have 733 mhz or 800 mhz.

Yep, Lud, I got the same probs, thing is I have a, AMD Athlon 1 Gig CPU, 128 Mb RAM (soon to be 256) Geforce 256, ASUS A7V133 Mobo, I thought it would have been enough to run the game great, but I was wrong. I'm doing a system format and reinstalling everything, seeing all my games are running like a pile of shit, I'm getting under 10fps in Day of Defeat, and thats not acceptable. What Operating system are you running ?? Windows 98, Me ??? If you havent formatted your drives for a while it might be a good idea to do so, and yeah, get all the latest drivers that you possibly can, by the way is your Mobo a VIA chipset ?? If it is get the latest 4n1 Drivers, should enhance a few things on your system. And also buy a cheap Geforce 2, will solve alot of problems.

riesep, I'm thinking that the Intel 82810 Graphics Controller is your onboard graphics card, do please correct me if I'm wrong anyone, but if that is the case you seriously need to go buy yourself a new video card. You might be able to pick up an Geforce 2 MX for under $100 but I dunno, I have no idea where your from so I couldnt say anything about price, I'm just guessing but thats my answer. And to find out your exact system specs, if you have DirectX (any version) and you should do click on "DxDiag.exe" under the setup directory in DirectX. Run that and it will tell you everything, or you could just go to My Computer, click on Control Panel, then click on System, and mostly everything is in there. Hope this helps

Right-click MY COMPUTER, go in properties, then DEVICE MANAGER. One of the sub-folders should be called DISPLAY ADAPTERS. Whatever is in there is your video card..

What you can get for under 100$, I have no friggin' clue..

I'm personally getting an ASUS AGP-V7700 DELUXE GEFORCE 2 GTS 32MB very soon.. gonna cost me 300$ but damn well worth it !

I ran the demo just fine on my 500mhz, btw.

thx Solidus, but it is true it's the intel graphics controller. I just got this computer a little while ago so I really haven't upgraded anything. I did see however, an ad on gamespot for a Geforce 2 for 89 dollars is this a good card. There is no way I'm spending much more than 100 dollars. So if this is a good card for the money please tell me. I might also get more Ram (I've got 128), without going broke should I get an extra 128mb. It's true that you can add ram right, not replace it. and it's not too hard installing a video card and ram right. PLEASE REPLY!!!

What about this?

Would that work for MOHAA with 128 of ram? How about 256 ram?

Here's a more constructive (self-proclaimed) advice, instead of laughing at your setup, which is quite pathetic indeed, Rage 128 + athlon 800?

If it says it might not draw shadows properly, then go to display options (I don't have opflashpt) and uncheck anything that has to do with shadows. If that doesn't help, play at 640x480. If all else fails, try to play on software accel. mode (dunno if it's available). The game will be ugly, but at least it'll be playable. Try the shadow thing first, good luck

Iam building a new computer in the next few weeks... here will be the computer specs:

AMD Athlon 1.2 Ghz
256 megs of RDAM
Geforce 2 MX 64 megs
40 gig HD-fast
WinME-OS

Hopefully this new computer will run the new games I plan on buying this fall...
