[Mmmm]Homer May 1, 2004 Share [Mmmm]Homer Member May 1, 2004 It likely has onboard video. Can you post up what model it is and/or some specs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Mmmm]Homer May 1, 2004 Share [Mmmm]Homer Member May 1, 2004 The Intel Extreme Graphics is an onboard graphics setup, i.e. no video card. From what I've seen it's really not geared for gaming at all, just standards Windows apps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crowbar May 2, 2004 Share Crowbar Member May 2, 2004 yeah, you need a video card. save up a little money. if you're just going to play CS mostly, then a GeForce 2 or a Radeon 9000 will do you fine. I just checked the price of an Asus GeForce 2 MX card on newegg.com. $35 will get you playing CS with around 50-70 fps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Mmmm]Homer May 2, 2004 Share [Mmmm]Homer Member May 2, 2004 You'll need to veify that this thing has an AGP video card slot. They are brown and toward the top of the motherboard (near the cpu) and are set back just a little further than the white PCI slots. Look here for help. If it doesn't have a an AGP slot then you're sol. Some of these stripper budget models do away with alot of the basics to get the price down. But it may have one.
