my computer is really up-to-day

four doors where I can shuffle coal into the machine

6 pipes where the smoke can go out

it's really a beast of a computer

It probably has no dedicated memory at all and uses a porition of your main system RAM. Probably with a limit of 32 or 64MB. Definitely not good at all.

You should go by a 6600GT 256MB AGP board for ~$150. or an x800 series for a bit more.

k i got direct x9 but a crap card i keep trying my dad to get me a 9800 ati radon pro for bout 100 but he keep saying no

will this work? ATI RADEON 9550 256MB DDR AGP Graphics Card

My game plays great on my computer.
Specs: Athlon XP 2166 MHz 3000+ processor,
graphics card- nVidia 128mb 6600GT, memory-1024 mb ,
motherboard- MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR .
I've got another computer that I just built and significantly upgraded the processor, vid card and mb. But SHIII isn't going to get installed on it, not while it plays fine on the first computer. The reason? one word: starforce. Or is that 2 words?
:hmm:

At least theres not a squirrel inside running in one of those wheels to power the thing. I think thats what my first one ran on cause the squirrel was asleep most of the time.

Amd XP 2400+ 2Ghz
1 GB
ATI 8500 (64MB) AGP with Catalyst 5.6 and VSync enabled in the game options
Win XP SP1

it's ok except with high TC (1024 to 4096) : small freeze

I've upgraded to 2 gigs of RAM and a 256MB FX5500 (AGP) and it is dramatically improved.

:hmm:
Strange because Ti4600 Gpu > FX5500 Gpu
but certainly the memory increase make the difference
