Any ATI or Nvdia brand products are all T&L. These can be bought just about anywhere.  don't think you will find any new ones
that have 32M.  Smallest amount are 64 at best..maybe even 128M.  I wouldn't even TRY to play AH2 with anything less than
128M.  Cheapest functional (forAH2)128M cards are around $100
but even at that price, your gonne be disappointed at the
frame rates they produce.

People, from seeing other posts, pretty much recommend the
Nvidia cards for this game.  You can get away with running the
game on a Nvidia 5200 series 128M card for under 100 bucks, but
like i said..don't be surprised about the frame rates.
    What system are you puting this card into?

Hum, you really need to know what you have.  If you have an old computer, the new video cards will not work in it.  If your
motherboard is old, it will have an outdated AGP slot which
will not be compatible with the new cards.  Im guessing your
system is old if you were looking to "upgrade" to a 32MB card.
32MB cards havent been out for some time now.  Im no
real expert on systems, but im sure if you post what brand and
model video card, and amount of video ram you have in it now, they can clue you in on whether it is running on the old AGP.
If it is the old AGP then its time for a complete new system if your
sole enjoyment of computing relys on AH2 alone.  AH2 really
demands a "decent" system to run on.  I built my computer
using Athlon 1800XP , 1.5 gig PC-133 memory, ATI 9600SE
128MB video card, 100 ATA /7200RPM hard drive, and this computer barely makes the game playable.  This comp. is 2 years old.
  I see your post about the Chip type you have..that might be enough to clue someone in on what you have, but I don't know
enough to help you there.
  The part that scares me is that you only have 64MB internal
memory..if that is what it had in it new, then your system is very
old.  I wouldn't run this game with anything less than 512MB internal memory, and I doubt your system can address that
much memory.

that is your onboard video graphics controller (card)

its a  intel 82845g  64 mb video card thats built into the mainboard.

open up your case and check to beshure you have an agp slot
(if you do you can add a agp type video card to it )

Ok, I say again, now that we are sure this is the video that came with the machine, his system is way old.  Even IF it has an AGP
slot doesn't mean its compatible with the new cards.
  I have a call into my computer guru that knows about HP's and
I'll post you what she has to say about it.

ok, i talked with my guru and she is asking for the Model number of your computer.  This will most likely be on the front of your computer..if no, then it is on the back.  She says, offhand, that it
sounds like you have a 550 MHZ computer or 700MHz max..and this simply won't be sufficient for AH2.  Let me know about the model number and she can tell you exactly what you have.
