    You guys are living in a dream world.

    Modern 3D games have required 32MB video cards for a while now.

      Looks like I should have looked at the system specs before I placed my order. I only have a 16mb card.

        Not the ones I play.

          Something tells me you're not a big 3D gamer since you've only got 16MB.

          Most boxes say 16MB, but if you ever tried playing them you'll see the 16MB is for like 20 frames per second at 640x480x16...

            Asher:

            Unlike you, I'm not a rich ass bastard...

            but damn... how much does a better RAM and video card cost? Cause I mean I want to get Age of Mythology like a year from now and that's a strategy game but it'll probably need more than what I got cause it's 3D

                Speer, get a job. I buy my own computer ****.

                RAM is cheap as hell, video cards range depending how much of a shortsighted and cheap bastard you are.

                  4 years old and you want to play a state of the art 3D game?

                  Graphics cards double in power every 9 months or so, processors double in power every 18 months or so.

                  4 years is a long time.

                    Probably around $200.

                    I have quite a few 3d games and they play fairly well on my system.

                        So, still playable, and it is the minimum. The only min I've seen for 32 MB VRam is this and Morrowind.

                          20fps at 640x480 is certainly not playable for a first person shooter like this, or most other 3D shooters. It may be fine in Morrowind, but this is a completely different style of game.

                          Keep in mind this is average framerate, which means you will probably get some maps/areas which are 5-10fps...

                              Speer, I know this is a far out idea, but did it ever occur to you to look at a store or at least those store's websites?

                              RAM and video cards can cost you anywhere from 20 bucks to 20 thousand bucks.
