Terence Posted August 21, 2000 Share Posted August 21, 2000 Hello Everyone, I'd like to introduce myself by saying Im the biggest idiot to walk the earth. I was so excited to buy the game that I blazed through the hardware/software requirements without reading them very carefully. I have no video card. I understand by reading the site more attentively that said card is highly reccommended. I have a Compaq Pentium 2, 233mhz with 32 megs of ram and a 24x CD ROM. I am running DirectX 7. I can't recall the sound card at the moment. SO, I have decided to buy a card, (instead of trying to muddle through without it) and since my wife is thousands of miles away until the 28th of August-- I don't expect to hear much argument. My question to you is this: which card should I buy? Which one works the best with CMBO? Any advice will be gratefully accepted. Thanks you very much, ------------------ Terence 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Mitchell Posted August 21, 2000 Share Posted August 21, 2000 Due to the fact that your processor speed would handicap some of the newer cards,you would be best going with a VooDoo 3 or a TNT2 Ultra. I prefer the Nvidia cards(TNT2),but a lot of folks like the Voodoo cards. Be sure to determine if you have an AGP slot or not. If not,get a PCI card. I assume that your video in on the motherboard-this will have to be disabled(usually through the BIOS) before you install a video card.
