i've got this old clunker, and i wonder if it will run the game or not:

P3 800mhz
526mb of ram (i have no idea why it's that number)
ati radeon 9200 128mb agp

that's about the only thing i know about it. the graphics card was a fairly new addition, and i'm not even sure if it allows for a power cable or not.

I have all the required specs except for the video card.I'm getting a 256 MB video card with a name of AVG or something like that.It's only gonna cost 70 $ CAN so it looks like a pretty good deal.It's supposed to be based on the module of GeForce.Will this video card be good enough?

Basically if your current system can run gw p and f, then it will run nf. As always everything graphical is adjustable and although you wont get the full graphic experience of the game, it will still be "playable".

nvidia is going to release the 8800's "G80" (double the speed and HIGHLY improved graphics) cards in about a week and a half, give or take. That means prices are going to plummet on the current high-end offerings from them.

The Midrange cards from Nvidia are very good (Price/Power). Try to get a 7600GS or GT, the first one is still powerful enough to run GW with all details. The GT is a way more powerful and shut be enough for a few months

find out which GeForce module.

if GF 2/3 and only 70 CAN i would be scared.

if no link a detailed description will give us what we need to know to answer the question.
