Crashed and Burnt

    Just purchased Dawn of War / Winter Assault twin pack.....got excited reading the box, and thought I was at last getting a decent game that played on specs actually LOWER than my old computer.

    Unfortunately, I did not read the tiny type carefully enough. Turns out a special video card is required: "AGP", and mine is "PCI".

    When I tried to run the game, the intro movie was a little blurry, even a bit pixellated. The game screen itself was bizarre....I only got to the intro screens.....everything is enlarged too big....I can only see about a third of what should be there, and only the left side of it.

    Am I totally scre*ed?

    Pentium 4 at 1.5 MHz
    1280 MB RAM
    Nvidia GeForce FX 5500 PCI at 128 MB
    Windows XP Home edition
    Current screen resolution is set at 1024 x 768, 32 bit

    Theres no PCI graphics cards available that will run current games and unfortunatley if your PC has a PCI graphics card its unlikely to have a APG port.

    New computer time I'm afraid. :/
