I have a yr old compaq 700 mhz,256 ram and it has it's video card on board.DS played fine but I was wondering how NWN will play?? Thanks for any input...John

Well what kinda of card does it have for video. If it uses DFX it wil lnot work at all. You need at least a 16mb card also. If you need to you can install a serpate video card and just dissable the one in the board

Well I got the game this afternoon and loaded it up couldn't wait to start after the great looking intro but...I guess the video card can't cut it..According to specs the card )intel 810e) has 32 megs of mem.so I thought it would work but no dice .Hope I can get a card to work in this pc. What a bummer 28 mile drive to the store on top of it ...John

That Intel internal (onboard) chipset likely uses system RAM (shares it, most onboard video does), thus it doesn't "really" have that much RAM.

And, no, the Intel chipset isn't powerful enough. You might be stuck getting a low end GeForce or ATI Radeon. Mostly likely you'll need a PCI card as well, since a lot of those with onboard video don't bother to put in an AGP slot for expansion.

I have that same, or nearly the same Intel video on my corporate workstation at work, and it's basically only good for 2D Windows GUI :(
