where the hell on earth do you find such a card ???Even integrated solutions are much better.
The game will suck even on 64MB vidio card.Atleast a geforce5200 level card is required to play that game.

What is your current card?
How old is your PC?
Your card is not enough to play any games smoothly, it's time to save money and buy a whole new things...

All NFS PC games are poorly coded just like GTA. You will need a decent card to run that game.

I tried playing with a GTS 250 and a GTX 260 and even at medium settings I got massive lag. The only racing game that will run fine with a mediocre GPU is Dirt2.

I totally disagree : my 16MB ATI Radeon Mobility 7500 plays many games at 1024x768 fine. List few for example
Age of Empires III
Mount and Blade War Band
Unreal tournament 2004
Morrowind
Guild Wars
...

More game programmers should make things backwards compatible. Cheers to the Mount and Blade team. The game works great on a 8 year old laptop!!!!

Yeah, I wanna play Fallout 3 and Crysis in DOS and with only 8MB of video RAM.

Most of those are 5+ years old, no wonder they work.

of course it will, you are playing @ 1024x768 which basically means your CPU is doing 75% of the work

and the fact that those games you listed above will run on virtually any video card

Mount and Blade Warband is 2010. Good programming, super engaging game. Its requirements are 128MB VRAM.
It was the same for the Machinarium demo(flash) 128MB VRAM, but it was smooth...

As for the comment that the CPU is taking 75% of the load, that would be in 2D software rendering, which is only available, from what I remember in UT2004 - ugly as hell.

Fallout or Crysis will not work in DOS 6.11
