Curse

Right now I'm running a default intel card that is listed on the GW site as "shouldn't be able to run the game". I've been doing this for a year, but it crashes due to a lack of memory after about 1 and a half hours-2 hours. I want to buy a new card, but i didn't want to spend too much. I was thinking $150 tops. I just want a card with enough memory to run the game as long as I want without having to run on the lowest res possible. Problem is, I only have PCI slots. My computer is a Dell Dimension 2400.

Thanks in advance for the help.

If you only have PCI.. and not PCI Express or Agp the highest cards that was made in PCI were:

Ati Radeon 7500
Nvidia Geforce 4 MX Series

Those are the highest gen cards that still had standard PCI cards.
Here's the link where I pulled the information from:

Price watch is a good place
Ati Radeon 7500 runs about $75 - http://www.pricewatch.com/video_cards/4454-1.htm
Nvidia Geforce 4 MX starts around $32+

Actually Eternal u may be suprised to know they actually do up to a GeForce 6200 in PCI :O, as shown here on PC World's (UK PC Store) website,http://www.pcworld.co.uk/martprd/sto...null&tm=nul l so if u want the best PCI graphics card Kozmo, thats the one to go for, if not, next one down is the GeForce 5500
