ok so on m10 there's shader 2 as the base graphics requirement, I know **** about my computer and on the advice of a friend i got a program that tells me what sort of hardware i have,
Currently im running a integrated gfx card (yeah i know the 10fps is awesome) and need advice on what to put in there.
Model :Dell DIMENSION DIM3000
Mainboard :Dell Computer Corp. 0N6381 Chipset :Intel i865PE Video Card :Intel(R) 82865G Graphics Controller
Slot PCI :Available (32-bit) 5.0v, 3.3v Slot PCI :In Use (32-bit) 5.0v, 3.3v Slot PCI :Available (32-bit) 5.0v, 3.3v
What do i need besides a new set up, a ton of cash (and just possibly a clue)

Edited by: Elysarian on 05/03/2009 23:32:02 Problem number one is that you don't appear to have a dedicated graphics card slot (PCI-E or AGP).
Problem number two is it's a Dell...
TBH you'd be better off looking for a cheap-ish base unit and installing your copy of windows on it (use your keyboard, mouse, speakers and monitor too).
Something like this:

Edit: link works ===================================== It smells of spoon! ===================================== |

Edited by: Vincent Aran on 06/03/2009 04:50:55 Sorry but I looked around the web a little and you don't have either an AGP or PCI-Express on your motherboard. Time for a new PC.
As for problem 2 well I bought a Dell with an i7, 6GB tri-channel DDR, upgraded the PSU and GPU and so far it's running great.
