A: if you are using the original video card its probably either a Intel Extreme Graphic 2 or a geforce 4. These are not good gaming chipsets. the good news is that you have an agp 8x slot in the machine which means you can upgrade the gpu. if you put one of these into it, the game will run as well as it can on that machine. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3584118&CatId=3670
