Good Video Card

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.games.zone.simulation (More info?)

I am new to the Sim 2004. I get a very bad graphic when I play. My computer
is not top of the line but, I like to know what kind of Video card I should
get for a good background and graphic. What I get now is all blurry. (my
video card is only a 16 MB older one). So, please give me details about a
brand and all its description.

TX, Ben

I'd say you need at minimum a 64Mb video card, preferably a 128Mb but
it doesn't help much to put a fast card in an overall slow machine,
can't really recommend any without more information about the computer
(system memory, CPU speed, AGP slot available or not etc...)
