I have been looking on the Special reserve data base and i have found this graphics card:
"GC - SPARKLE M64, 32MB, PCI, RIVA TNT2 M64 CHIPSET "
We need a PCI and thats what we found but will it be compatible with a 333Mhz, 128mb ram, Pentium 2, and a 48x CD-ROM drive, PC?
Thanks...
If you know, because i need it to play operation Flashpoint!
