Re: IBM R30 On Board graphics

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Unfortunately it's far more likely that the onboard graphics just aren't
sufficient for the game. Consider purchasing a separate graphics card.
Check whether you have a free AGP slot (or even PCI or PCI Express) and then
look at the collection of your games and find the one with the highest specs
and choose your card accordingly.

Then do your research.... and fix your budget. With high end gaming
graphics cards going up to $500, look at those which meet your
specification - and maybe a little higher - always plan for the future. You
can pick up something like a FX5700 with 256mb of RAM (AGP) for about $130
at places like www.newegg.com
