More than likely not.  You need at LEAST 32MB of RAM in that thing, along with a P850+ processor

yeah see im not 100% sure what i have on this thing i know i have 2600+(2.13GHz) AMD Athon XP processer, 512 MD DDR SDRAM memory.  Honostly i have really no idea what any of this is, just reading it off a sticker on the computer.  Im guessing its good, but not good enough.

(2.13GHz) you have a smoking procesor with a solid chunk of ram, ive seen some pretty generic video cards run ah so i wouldnt be surprised if yours worked fine.

If I were you I would download AH2 and try it out offline or in the H 2 H arena.         If the card doesn't work for you then you will know for sure.      You can keep the game on your COMP or just delete it till you getter a faster card.    

I have a GeForce 5200 128MB PCI card on a HP Pavilion 2.1 GHZ(Celeron) processor.
512 RAM

I had to upgrade to play the game and bought the card or not play.

Yep, Im running a GF FX5200 128mb as well and it works great.  I get around 60-70 FPS in the air and 40 or so near the ground.  Then again, I also have a 3.2GHz processor and 2gigs of RAM, so your's (Eagle) will very much differ.

Id go with gunner and just try it out.  If it doesnt work, look into a new video card.  If you're on a budget, I'd go with the Fx5200.  Its fairly cheap and will run AH2 no sweat.

First, find out if your system has an AGP slot.
If it does then you can install just about any decent to high end video card you like. {it may not support 8x AGP speeds, but it's a start in the right direction}
If your system does NOT have an AGP slot, then your going to be a little limited on what cards you can install.

Hope this helps

Thanks guyz, it works but somewhat.  Can play but it runs slow when im in the clouds.  I plane on getting a new graphics card at Wal-mart this weekend.  Thanks again!!:aok
