Hi I have a dell dimension 3000, I also have direct x 9.0, and my prossesor is a intel(r) pentium(r) 4 cpu 2.80 GHz. I just installed Neverwinter nights 2 gold and it says that it is not compatable with my direct 3d. so i did a diagnostic and every thing is up to date and the direct 3d passed all the test so i dont know what to do. please help me. thanx
 
What video card or onboard graphics chipset do you have, it sounds like your card / chipset doesn't have the features that the game requires ie a certain shader model or T&L.
 
Go to Start > Run and type in dxdiag. After the report appears click on the "Display" tab.
 
You could probably buy and install a PCI graphics card provided you have a free PCI slot.
 
Here is an assortment of PCI graphics cards available from Newegg.com. I'm sure one will fit your budget.

Keep in mind that the cheaper you go, the less capable the card will be.
