    Hello and welcome to Techspot.

    What that message means is you need to upgrade you graphics card.

    Go to the game manufacturers website and look at the system requirements for the game.

    I don`t think that video card is supported.

    Look HERE for supported video cards.

    Yes I know how to upgrade.

    However, if you`re not comfortable with opening up your computer, and installing a new graphics card. Then may I suggest you take it to your local PC repair shop, and have them do it for you. Also if you`ve got any PC savvy friends maybe they could do it for you.

    Regards Howard :)

    Depending on what you want, and can afford.

    Graphics cards can cost from as little as $30 to hundreds of $

    Please don`t ask me to recommend one though, as I don`t play games, and therefore I`m not in a position to advise you.

    Regards Howard :)

    these days try for at least a 6600gt but 6200 looks alright to me... 6600gt would last longer and be able to support new games for a few more months though. look at the other threads on new rigs, and new video cards, you can get some stuff from there. also look at ATI and their X800...!

    Slow down hoss....

    WHat type of video slot do you have? I would not buy a card before i can make sure it will fit!

    I would first use Everest to find the type of expansion slot you have. If you know this, then forget what i am saying lol


    I would go with a nice x800 as found here
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814127172

    more powerful then a 6600GT and is around the same price

    Just make sure your PSU can handle the load
