Hi again,

Thanks to you Stalker and Jigu for taking your time to post some of the selected games for my system. I have bought Delta Force: Black Hawk Down, but unfortunately it couldn't work on my system. I did play it on my laptop, though. Anyways, you both recommended to get DirectX 9.0. Is there any way I can buy it in a retail store and install it. The reason I'm asking is because I have a modem 56K and downloading it would take forever. And as for buying a better graphics card, I wouldn't know where to begin opening my system. Thanks again.

How much will a 128MB AGP GFX Card cost?
It should support pixel shader and open GL drivers and must be DX9.0c compatible.
Coz my current config
"AMD Sempron 2800+ (~1.60 GHz)
768 MB DDR 400 MHz RAM
VIA/S3G Unichrome Pro IGP Onboard GFX (64 MB)"

do not allow me to play any good game!

I don't know much about GFX Cards. I like games but i'm not a hardcore gamer. So could you please suggest me a card as follow:

128 MB Video Memory
DirectX 9.0c Compatible
Should Support OpenGL Drivers
Should Support Pixel Shader 1.1 or More
DirectDraw, D3d

Tell me how much will it cost for both ATI and nVidia?
From where i can order it?
Remember i have an old MOBO MSI/VIA K8MM-V 7142

most importantly you should check if your mobo supporsts AGP 8x or 4x.
if it is very old it could be 4x if it is relatively new then it wil support 8x.
the next is you should make sure that you do not bottle neck the pc. make sure you have enough RAM and enough juice on your processor, only then you can look at a graphics card.

i think nVidia card is good. the low end ones are better than the low end ATI cards.
that is what i have heard and seen in few cases.

this is my specs
AMD athlon 64 3600+
2*512 DDR2 @ 533
AGP 8x Geforce 6200 256 mb.


i tried to play moha series and to my utter dissapointment it did not play.
when i open the game it hangs and i have to restart the pc.

what do i do?
this happens to only me. i never was able to play any of the moha series, the old pc i had too did not play that game.plz help
