    video card problem--no AGP port

    I don't know a lot about computer stuff so i'm pretty confused. I went to future shop to find out if ts2 will play on my comp and they said that it would look like a slide show with the amount of memory that my video card has. It's a pro savage with 32 mb so he suggested that i get a new video card but my computer doesn't have an AGP port. So my question is, what kind of video card can i buy or is it possible to add more memory to my existing card?

    You need a PCI video card.

    From our experiences with BodyShop, if you have a Prosavage "slide show" is not a bad outcome compared to what happened to a lot of people. Their Sims didn't show up at all.

    If you don't have an AGP port, then you need a PCI card. The two current best ones on the market are the PCI Radeon 9200 and the PCI FX5200. There are others which were better in the past, but they are unfortunately no longer available.
