Online 3D graphic hardware

March 11, 2007 4:38:39 PM

As fate would have it I am unable to play my newly aquired Star Wars Empires at War due to lack of 3D Hardware in my computer.

Does anyone recomend any brand that I can put into a pentium3 500mhz 512ram computer?

If you don't plan on getting any more games after EAW, then just get a new card. If you want to play games, though, you'll need to upgrade to a Pentium IV, at least 2.0 GB RAM, and a graphics card that has Pixel Shader 3.0.

Certain ATI graphics cards cause your system to lock up when playing EaW, particullarly the Raedon series.
