    Integrated VIA/S3G UniChrome IGP Video Card

    I have a Integrated VIA/S3G UniChrome IGP Video Card. Will it support TS2?

    That doesn't tell us anything. There are too many versions of ATI IGP chipsets.

    That is certainly not one of the cards that is on the list of supported cards. However, some people found that their via/s3g and prosavage cards did work at least at the same level other integrated cards such as the Intel 82845G/GL (which is a "supported card" although it performs poorly for the game.)

    One thing to look at is the display memory or "approx total memory" of your card. You find that by going to Start, clicking on run, typing in dxdiag and then clicking to run it. It will give you a popup-like page that has tabs at the top. Under the Display tab you'll find the card and it will say what the "display memory" or the "approx. total memory" of the card is.

    If that number is less than 32mb, it is not going to work with the game at all. If it says 32-64mb, then it may work, but there's no guarentee, since it isn't a supported card. And if something goes wrong, Maxis can't really help you, since it isn't a card that they support.
