Amit, im presuming you have a pentium 3 , 600mhz proccessor. Which means you will have SD ram, guessing 128 or 256. Now you could probably play NFS U on a GF 4 MX440 one medium/low settings[PCI Version ofcourse] I doubt ur mobo has an AGP slot.

The min requirements for NFS U 2 will anyways be way higher than NFSU so cant really talk about that.

hi amit
agp slot looks something like this
*www.videocardupgrade.com/agp_slot_sm.jpg
the brown slot is called as the agp slot and the white one's are the PCI slot's. Does your mobo has an agp slot???
you have put the lan card in your pci slot. AGP slot is unique and is meant for AGP card only.

BTW this link will be helpful for u ;)

You need to search the market for a pci slot based graphics card. and do consider increasing your RAM as that does wonder. You can play the games but u need to comprise the quality of the game :(.

Please please dont waste time and money on Pci graphic cards..as a general rule pci graphic cards are 2 to 3 times more expensive than their equivalent Agp cards..
Agp Geforce 4 Mx = Rs 2800 ( or around depanding on company )
Pci Geforce 4 Mx = Rs 4500 ( or around )
Not to forget the performance they lack due to sheer narrow bandwidth...and Yes :twisted: PCI EXPRESS is altogether different so dont confuse and u can;t make simply pci ..a Pci express by any software ... :twisted:

Hi AMITAGARWAL02,
You are right :p Pci Express is way too good ....Still it requires a mobo upgrade and with it Processor not to mention the Ram ..And then possibly Cainet ... To get PCI express you will need to upgrade a way lot.
Still tell us what have you done so far with your problem...

Wow dude time to upgrade whole computer, get your self a moderate computer at about 20K and go for a Radeon 9600XT or 9800 pro which will cost you about 14k.

GeForce 5XXX series cards are a huge let-down. Don't purchase those. I would recommend atleast a GeForce 6200 card. You should get one of these for less than 5K though I am not sure of their availability rightaway. You may have to wait for a month or so before you can get them here.

5600 for less than 5k??????? hmmmmm dinn kno tat,are u sure?

Anyways i locked upon powercolor 9600 se 128mb which was for 5k.
Its 64bit which was the only let down.but dont kno how much difference a 128bit one wud have made on my 845 mobo .
I tried hard for the powercolor 9600(non pro non se) in the whole of lammi but all in vain.

I said 6200. This is the new mainstream card from nvidia. It definetely has to be around 5K-8K at the max here in India. I don't think it is as yet available here.
And yes, 128-bit memory interface makes a huge difference. 6800 seriesd has a 256-bit interface!
