    see my last edited post, you need to wait for someone who knows their stuff about games / graphics cards

    it's a standard PCI card, not express but not sure if that game will work with a pci one as it mentions AGP

  • Many thanks for the patience Browntoa, my lads just gone off in a huff. However we have run other games that our spec supposidly didnt support so all may not be lost.

    Hope some of the others can help.
  • Hi ya,

    I also have a Tiny computer; older than yours (PIII 700MHz, 256mb) made in 2000 and have PCI grahpics card (128Mb ATI Radeon 9250). It runs older games at low settings. Although runs Halo @ 1152*864 screen size (jerky, but playable).

    PCI cards should run the game albeit at low(ish) settings.

    Visit: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/FX_Series.html (Nvdia) or
    http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/7000PCI_Series.html (ATi) for most of the cards still available. Or other major PC retailer.

    According to a post on the Warhammer forums, it should work with a PCI card. You must make sure you've turned off the on board video card or it will cause problems.

    I do not own the game so I'm relying on this post for information.

    This is NOT a PCI Express card as your board does not support one.
    It should run with a GeForce 5 or 6 series, not sure how good performance would be though.
