It could be excellent for adventure games with great rendered scenery but no requirement for high frame rates.

That one also doesn't have hardware support for DirectX9, so DX9 games will be using the software API, requiring high CPU performance, where the Celeron in your system falls behind.Дepending on the game, it could outperform the on-board Intel, which isn't a great performer by any means, although it is AGP. And chipsets likely to be used on PCI cards, like the Radeon 9250, are bottom end chipsets not intended for gaming performance. A PCI card doesn't have direct access to system memory through the AGP aperture. The PCI bus can only transmit data at a maximum rate of 132MB/second compared to AGP 8x capacity of 2133MB/sec. Isn't that what matters?It's only part of the story. This card has WAY more memory than my current 64MB. Why wouldn't a PCI be able to play current games?

I'm just getting into PC gaming, which is why I know nothing about video cards as of now. I don't want to spend over $100, but I want to be able to play Star Wars: KOTOR & Fable for right now, & other PC games later (not any BRAND new games, just recent games). My secondary question is to ask for suggestions as to which card I should look for. Built on the 150 nm process, and based on the NV34B graphics processor, in its FX 5500 variant, the card supports DirectX 9.0a.

I recently added another 256MB ram chip & a dvd burner, though I doubt these things matter much. Overall Review: Dont forget to go into device manager and disable onboard graphics card If you have the same problem with the face plate i did. The GeForce FX 5500 was a graphics card by NVIDIA, launched on March 17th, 2004. * 6 USB 2.0 (2 in front, 4 in back), 1 VGA external connector, 1 serial, 1 parallel, 2 PS/2, 5 audio (2 in front, 3 in back) * Standard keyboard, 2-button wheel mouse, amplified stereo speakers

I have Windows XP Home running on an eMachines T3624 (cheapo). My main problem is telling whether I need a PCI Express or an AGP video card. It's a hell of a lot cheaper.I'm completely new to video cards, sorry if this is a stupid question. If I wanted high end graphics, I WOULD play a PS2.

I went to CompUSA to check on their current stock of laptops, and over 50% are still using Intel 8xx series.Дo you really see it being that 'crazy'? High end graphics were never the beauty of any of the Civ games. I do have a desktop to play Civ 4 on and have enjoyed the game, but 80% of the time I am on the road with my laptop, and, well, it sucks that they would not support Intel integrated video older than 1 generation. In fact, I think it was one of the pre-release videos linked from this site. In fact, the reason I bought this game was one of the producers noted in an online pre-release video that 'we don't want to make games that require all the latest hardware' to be playable. But I had always been a loyal customer to Firaxis because their games worked with less graphic requirements. I also bought my laptop within the last year (not a closeout deal either), and granted, I did buy it mostly for work. So: thanks a lot for the 'reveal world' idea, I will try it tonight!Д¬lick to expand.That's all great for you as you seem to be mostly a gamer on your computer. I need my laptop for other stuff, running mathematica, gauss or things like that, and I believe that those apps will still run in 5 years, while even a chess game will not run anymore. those people start to have the money, so they do not need to care about the ВЂ45, while at the same time they are not willing to buy no machines only for the games to run. but civ? and, btw: I can run ms flightsim 2004 on medium details, and I would think that this needs a lot more graph power than firaxis: I would expect that most people who spend like ВЂ45 for the game are in their late 20s or older, bacause they know and loved the whole civ and ac series. I know that my machine is not knew (it's 2 years now) and I do not expect things like doom3 or hl2 to run. I bought the game, and did not pay attention to the t&l requirement, so when I found out why the tiles were black, I was a little bit pisxxxx. Hi there, I have the same problem, namely using ONLY a laptop (w/o desktop alternative) with an intel 8xx chipset.
