Called Homeworld 2

It's crap and it doesn't run on my 'brand new computer' as in the bestest specs every... needs some obscure graphics engine or whatever and what I did play the graphics are like an old X-Wing V Tie Fighter game.

Bah, so what PC game(s) should I get for £30?

Hey, I remember when Voodoo were top of the line. Whatever happened to them.

If you choose to get a 9600 pro, get the Tyan Tachyon G9600 pro from Ebuyer.com

it's great, and around 125 quid.

expect to pay just over 120 quid for a 9600pro, and double that for a 9800pro. a 9800 pro isn't worth it for the difference it makes.

the bottom line is, anything above a 9500 pro will definitely get you places, and it'll be a while before you have to replace it.

never get a Geforce Card.

OUCH!

sorry to break it to you, but your intel graphics sounds like it's on-board, as no graphics card chipset at present has anything to do with intel.

unfortunately, you need to shell out some cash for something like a 9600 pro, or if you're prepared to part with some serious cash, go for a 9800 pro, bt only those two if you are as discriminating as i am. i have a 9600pro, and i can play ALL games out.

without a graphics card, your PC would whimper under the rendering demands of anything more complex than pong.

i know, it sucks.
