how do i find out what kind of card will work on my computer


the video card im looking at is a ATI whatever that means

ATI Radeon 9250 128MB AGP Video Card

Answer 1

Yeh that card will meet the specs requested by your game. Almost all new generation video cards support 3D and Transform and Lighting (T&L), so go ahead and start playing.

Answer 2

Yes

CNET product brief
for Asus ATI Radeon 9250 (128MB, AGP)
Description: This ASUS ATI Radeon 9250 is a 128 MB, mainstream 3D card. Compared to other mainstream 3D display cards on the market, it is very inexpensive at around $40.

Pros: This card performs texture and lighting in hardware, which frees up your processor to do other tasks.

Answer 3

You can play most of the old games with the 9250 but you may later be disappointed using it for newer games. It is not a DX9 card. It may encounter difficulties w/ games requiring DirectX 9.0c. If you are contemplating of playing newer games later on, get at least a DX9 card such as the ATI 9550.
