Integrated or PCI?
I'm running a friends 2.2ghz Celeron comp this beta weekend.
I know yuck... It has the Intel 64mb shared graphics, runs like molasses I might add. I'm using high speed internet, so there's no problem there. My question is this, I have an old 32 meg PCI video card I can throw in if it would be beneficial. Would it take some of the load off of the processor or am I just dreaming? Thanks, Mind |

No way
32mb?! WOW! What is that, a TNT2 Ultra???
In short.... don't waste your time. You are NOT going to be happy with how it plays, assuming it even starts up. Your old card probably doesn't even suppost Directx 9, and even if it does it doesn't have nearly enough memory to cope with the textures in the game. It's time for a video card upgrade man.... waaaaay overdue

It would probably be better to invest $50-75 in a PCI video card than throw the old one in there. Either way, it's not going to run well - but at least it will run.
