my girl's aunt gave us her old comp with integrated video and hardly any of my games work with it(stupid old games). she says the card is 32 meg. my buddy said the drivers are wrong/bad and i cant figure out what drivers to install. any help is appreciated. i already thought about dropping another VC in it but dont have the money right now.

i dont know what motherboard it is but its a amd athlon xp1700+ with 256 mb or ram so its a decent comp just want to play my MLB 05

look for a model number on the mobo, usually it's printing on there somewhere.

what ya need to do is find the driver package that goes with the mobo or an simlar mobo. If it is old as hell you might be up shit creek.

dude all you gotta do i look for the biggest chip on the board look at the model #, possibly its written on the board as well.... just take those numbers and plug them into google, find model, find driver, install ;)

If it's integrated graphics, wouldn't it use system memory? And if it does, there's one simple soultion: buy a dedicated video card.
