My system only has onboard graphics (STB Velocity 128). The question is of course will my system run the game? My current motherboard does not support an AGP slot but does have spare PCI slots if a graphic's card is req'd. But of course i do not want to purchase one unless absolutly necessary. Any comments most welcome.	Guest (0)

The box suggest 8MB V-accelerator. From other users I suggest u get a PCI 16MB at least, pref 32MB. RC	Guest (0)
