Is it something wrong with he Intel GMA 950 Chipset?

Question

Ok so i bought a motherboard " ConRoe1333-D667 "(i think) with a Intel GMA 950 Chipset.I looked on a web site to see its specifications and i see that this Chipset has Microsoft* DirectX* 9 Vertex Shader 3.0 and Transform and Lighting supported in software through highly optimized Processor Specific Geometry Pipeline (PSGP).......I looked at the system requirements lab i wanted to know if Battlefield 1942 (i think) will work on my computer and it said that it cant work because i dont have transform and lighting and when i checked another game it said that i have a vertex shader only 0.0.DO i need some software so the chipset can support Hardware T&L? or is my chipset damaged? CAn you help please? How can i make hardware T&L work.

Answer 1

Supporting hardware T&L do mean another card, this built-in Intel one is supporting only software T&L which means it is not up to spec and to Battlefield this software-only is as good as not even there to begin with.

A tip: on board videos are useless, get an AGP or PCIE card as soon as possible.
