Yea, the MX are nVidia's cheapest models but umm.. do they actually do Ti models for PCI slots? Because if the motherboard has onboard video, more likely than not it won't have an AGP slot. And even if a Ti model is a much better performer than an MX model, being on the PCI bus takes a good chunk of performance out of it so I don't know if someone would actually be willing to pay more for a card that's not able to pull its weight so to say anyway.

i have to disagree to flibulzb* the GForce2 TI is much better (and cheaper) than the GForce4 MX, i for myself bought a Gforce3 Ti-200 only for the game and i thinkg 150EUR is a reasonable price. However, i dont think Nvidia produces PCI-graphic hardware anymore (though i am not totally sure, but i couldn't fin anything in my catalogues). I guess its better not to buy this onboard hardware (took me days to get my sound running). BTW Nowadays inboard hardware is usually controlled from the BIOS, no jumpers i guess.

Yes, the video is built into my computer. The salesman made it sound like that it meant that I would never need a card, darn him. Well, I guess this puppy goes back to Amazon. You guys have fun.
Poor you Galadria what kind of computer do you have?
But one thing that is almost on all "Factory made" computer new ones that in the bios there can you disable both sound cards and grapich cards i am not so sure abouth the grapich card from inside the bios but it allvais a jumper in the mainboard that can disable it then you can put in a new grapicard if you open the case of your computer then you can se if it have "White slots pci) and a green or brown slot this is for the AGP cards (best to use)then it is only to buy a gforce 3 card and put it in! But the best thing is NOT to buy a pc withs sound and grapich card built in! :D

Ha! Now I know why you took Dreamer as a usename. Believe me, I am almost ready to mail it to someone. My puter is a Hewlitt-Packard Pavilion 7845, CPU- PIII 866mHz, 128 MB of RAM, 40 GB hard drive.

According to HP, you've got an available PCI slot, but no AGP slot. If you can find a PCI graphics card that will support the min reqs for Morrowind, you're good to go.
Their spec site is here
Maybe some kind soul at IW has a PCI card they can sell you?

Hewlett-Packard should be a good one strange that it will not run hmm!
Maby trie to talk to the shop you buy it the have a teck support that can help you! :D

Well, I called support at Hewlett-Packard and they admitted that I would need a PCI card with 32 meg of RAM. I then called Office Depot, and they have one on sale for $69.95! So, tomorrow, I shall go up and buy it, and Piestrider and I will try and install it. Thanks to everyone for your help.
