pls hlp, i am desperate to play try out these games. Intel 82815 do support T & L ryt? i have read in forum that 82810 doesnt. Pls help, i would be greatful.

The Intel integrated graphics you have are a POS unfortunately and will not run any game unless it's something as old as Warcraft III or the like. You will need a standalone AGP card like this one.
BTW, is this an HP desktop PC by any chance?

no man, this is an 6 yr old assembled pc...but tnx a million for reply..atleast now i wont be pullin out my hairs
