Important Question?

[Joebasalt13]

I live in Canada so I don't even have the game yet. It comes out either tommorow or sometime next week. But I have heard of the many problems that people are having I am wondering if my CPU will work and if anyone has the same things as me and the game works. If not I won't get the game for a while cause I don't have enough money for new graphics card.
Here are my specs

Compac Presario Computer
2.93 GHZ
512mb Ram
160GB HD
Intel(R)82915G/GV/910GL Express Chipset Family (128mb)
DirectX version 9.0c

I play Civ 2, Age of Mythology, and Halo fine Will this work?

Sorry, that I can't answer this question, but I just wanted to say that I think it is better to get a Graphics card what is relatively good by todays standard so it will have a much longer life time. Only $30 more and it will last a lot longer.

OK but what are some cards (Under $100) that have TL?

I don't know offhand, but I do know that it's a very quick internet search to price video cards.

 

[Joebasalt13]

I have tried searching I have found 50 cards ranging from $50-$600 but none of them say Transform & lighting as far as I can see?

OK I have found this card Diamond Stealth Radeon 9250 S85AGP 128MB Video Card it is $79.00 and I can probobly afford it can someone tell me for sure if this card will work? Does it have the TL? if not give me a suggestion of a card that will that is cheap. THanks

Any nVidia card in years has it.
