Re: graphics card



Hi peawee,

You just need to visit your local computer shop, with your
PC and have them install an AGP video card if your system
supports AGP, or a PCI video card if it doesn't.

The prices vary from $50 to several hundred dollars...
Ask them to make sure that the card you select suppors the
latest DirectX 9 technologies. Let us know how it goes. :-)
