Will the game run on this PC?

Hey everyone. I just bought a PC today! I'm not a huge pc gamer..as I usually use my ps2 for games..and I have online for it..but I want to buy it for PC again. I already bought it..but it didn't work on my old pc. I got a new one today...and was wondering if it will work now. I won't be too disappointed if it doesn't work..b/c my PC is great for everything else I need to do.

Intel P4 2.93 ghz [not overclocked

]
1MB L2 Cache
512 Dual Channel DDR RAM
200G Hard Drive
CD/DVD Combo Drive
Intel(R) 82915G/GV/910GL Express Chipset*

*If anything..I suppose my video card is weak...but that's what you get for buying Stock PC's I would suppose..Thanks,

Ryan

i can work, but those integrated graphics chips can cause some trouble. its a decent pc for the rest but you should've gone for something with at least an AGP graphics card.

Damn those integrated graphics cards.. they are great PCs for office environments, but they break the hearts of gamers everywhere..

I guess you could try.. but don't expect good graphics.

Well..I supose it is the Card :evil:

I installed the game on this PC. It installed perfectly fine...but sadly when I start the game up the white screen shows..but nothing happens. I will take some screen shots...of support too.

EDIT:

Here is what happens when disk is put into the drive. This pops up..but nothing happens. I eventually just have to take the disk out. At first...you can hear the CD loading...then all of a sudden my PC becomes silent..nothing happens.

Any advice? I also have updated my graphics card drivers.

I also checked out EA's help area. They say to end all tasks for other programs. In that case..should like YIM, MSN etc be off? The say to end tasks off everything under the 'OWNER' under processes except for iexplorer and some other one that I can't remember. I have like 20 things running under the 'owner' thing though...do I have to end all of those! They also say not to end the taks of local service, network service, or system. Should I end all these processes?

anybody have an answer to that ^

by **cv31raptors** on Sat Jan 07, 2006 6:13 am

anyone know what to do about that ^

I don't care about the actual gameplay..so graphics don't matter too much. But will it not run on this integrated piece of crap video card?

end all programs like YIM and MSN. integrated graphics cards never are good for games so if you really want to play on your pc you should probably get an upgrade

indeed. its the graphics card. all the rest is fine.

geforce mx400 isn't a good card for this game. it's too old. best bet is to get some money on the side and by a new card.
