well your computer doesn't even meet those minimum requirements! your power supply probably isnt good enough eitherOk. Thank you. I figured I was outta luck. . Do you know if it would be WORTH it to upgrade all the bits and pieces to make this card work, or would it just be better to invest in a newer system all together?Quote from: Chelsea on December 31, 2008, 02:55:07 PM

Invest in a new system, you wont get a Pentium 4 in that computer if it only supports Pentium 3.

Here in New Zealand we can get good computers for $800 new, so should be around $450-500 in the US

ya get a nice dual core and 2gb ram and imo take the card back and get a new one but you might have to anyways cause the new computewr probably wouldnt have agp slot. If i were you i would build itI think I'd sure be taking that card back to the store that sold it to you. And, I'd get an ATI or nVidia card the next time. Go online to newegg.com or tigerdirect.com to shop for a video card.that is an ati card.... also buy from newegg if your in the us or canadaYou mean the Diamond card uses and ATI graphics chip? And, does newegg.com sell in Canada now? yes they do! and yes thats what i mentFrom http://www.newegg.com/HelpInfo/FAQDetail.aspx?Module=4

Does Newegg.com ship internationally?
Newegg.com does not currently ship internationally; we only deliver to locations within the United States and to Puerto Rico.

newegg CA opened for business about a month ago....with limited inventory.
