Do you know what version of DirectX you've got installed, to find out go to Start, Run and type DXDIAG and click on OK, on the first screen at the bottom it should say DirectX Version.

In the PC's BIOS there should be a setting to control how much memory is allocated to the video card. Remember this is taken from the PC's main memory so if you've only got 64mb and you allocate 32mb to your video card then you'll only have 32mb available for programs etc.

It's also worth checking you've got up to date video drivers, you can download them from http://download.sis.com

The vary greatly from £20 to £300 8O

As your not playing the latest FPS type games you can get away with a cheaper one, something like th ATI Radeon 9200 should do, price should be around £35.00 :)

It would be worth checking your PC has an AGP slot before buying it though ;) Have a look inside there should be several slots exactly the same, usually white in colour, plus one the same size but positioned slightly offset, this tends to be brown, that is the AGP slot.
