Alright, I need instruction because I'm just recently getting into computer systems and I need to know what I'm doing.
I bought an Acer Aspire T180 and it has mostly everything I need for Crysis, except a video card. The minimum for the game is an Nvidia 6200 or ATI X1300 - Shader Model 2.0 and what I've got is an Nvidia GeForce 6100 with an nForce 430 MCP graphics solution. The 6100 is apparently capable of Shader 2.0.
Question: Despite the fact that I'm upgrading to an Nvidia 7600, would I be capable of playing the game without it?
Also, can I even upgrade my card, or is it part of the motherboard (intergrated nForce thing?)?
My best guess, yes. Most of the time, you can play a game with specs below the minimum. The reason they put a minimum, is so that people can't say the game doesn't run right unless they have the minimum.
For example, for WoW, you can play it on 56K internet, but the minimum supported is broadband internet. All that means is that if you have a problem with the game, they probably won't help you, since you're not using the minimum supported.
Sorry to double post but I was recently informed of dual monitor support and I was wondering if Nvidia made a card (preferrably 7600+) that supported dual monitor.
What would I need for this (cardwise, I've heard of a DVI cable) and how would I set it up?
