Well... Instead of posting the recommended specs, how about posting your video card..

i dont know how to how do u do that

by **Andreas Dahl** on Sat Sep 03, 2005 3:13 am

There's a few ways. One is to right-click on the desktop, choose Properties, then in the Settings flap, click on the Advanced, then the Monitor flap.
I got the Swedish version, so some of the words migh be different. I'm sure there's an easier way, but that's what I could remember how to do at the moment.

ok i got a geForce2 MX/MX 400
bus: AGP 4X
memory: 32 MB

by **Hotshot** on Sat Sep 03, 2005 3:33 am

I'm not sure even 05 would play good on that.

by **Andreas Dahl** on Sat Sep 03, 2005 3:45 am

It does meet the 32 Mb minimum requirement, but I don't think that it supports DirectX 9.0. It might work, but I won't work well at all in that case.

by **Chris.** on Sat Sep 03, 2005 4:03 am

yeh 05 works and it does support direcrX 9.0
i know i should get a better video card soon but i just cant find any cheap good ones

by **hipn** on Sat Sep 03, 2005 4:07 am

Buy a new comp or build your own comp, heard its cheaper than buying an actual one. I mean building one costs less than a normal dell or hp pc. Or you can buy an ALIENWARE pc or a new Rodeon or Radeon or w/e its called.

A cheep and good (for that price) is Radeon 9550..

Im oretty sure all Radeon Video Cards are good, but the best ones cost waayyyy too much, some cost like 800$ Canadian....man dats crazy.

by **Chris.** on Sat Sep 03, 2005 5:03 am

WTF $800 jus for a video card! u might as well buy xbox 360 and get live for it. i would never wanna spend that much on a card plus i dont have the money to. im thinkin of getting that radeon 9550 card if it is any good

by **hipn** on Sat Sep 03, 2005 5:09 am

lol...

Sometimes I wish the developers for the systems wouldgo a step further an make something so it can handle better graphics...I mean, what if Ps3 went a step further and created something that would let it handle graphics that look almost like real life, like the things people use in movies to make it look real, why doesnt Sont just take around 1-2 more year to develop somehting like that and everybody will be happy..i mean wouldnt it be cool to play nba live 07 or 08 and feel like your watching an actual game? man...that be of the hook

by **Chris.** on Sat Sep 03, 2005 5:14 am

1 it would cost too much to make and buy
2 the games would have to be good enough for it to look like real life and would take longer and more money
and 3 you would have to wait longer for them to make it when they can make the ps3 now and sell it make money and maybe the ps4 will look like real life

Don't buy it with 256 MB of RAM. It will have slower memory. Better buy 128MB card..

by **Chris.** on Sat Sep 03, 2005 5:40 am

i thought if it is higher it would be better?
my pc got 512 ram

by **kingtrobe807** on Sat Sep 03, 2005 6:44 am

In high-end section - yes - 'more' means better, but not in low-end section...

To answer why companies don't just start with realistic graphics, rather than improving step-by-step: that technology does not exsist, in order for it to exsist progammers and engineers must create the technolgy step-by-step.

Would you rather be able to get the best technology they can currently make, or wait and not have any computers until the technolgy is "perfect", a state that is impossble to acheive.
