What kind of computer is it? Did you have a friend/local shop make it, or did you get it from Futureshop/Best Buy etc?

Do you know if it's PCI-Express or AGP?

What is your budget?

I'm guessing 2.2 gig cpu is probably on a board with AGP. probably 5 + years old now.

More like 3-4 years, I got an Athlon 64 3200+ with an Nvidia 7950 bought in 2006.


Anyway, C&C RA3 sucks balls... no difference from RA2, which was also crap. It shouldn't require the latest cards.

Xpress200 integrated chipset, which has PCI-E.

Either http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=33527&vpn=EN8800GS%2FHTDP%2F384M&man ufacture=ASUS&promoid=1088 or http://www.ncix.com/products/index.p...E&promoid=1088 ought to work, but you may need a new power supply to power the new videocard, as I don't know what your current one is. The first one is not very high performance, but good value.

Also, add more memory. http://www.ncix.com/products/index.p...o&promoid=1088

You might want to think about upgrading your computer. http://www.ncix.com/products/index.p...6&promoid=1088 This is a very good deal, and it's all assembled. Just add OS and video card and you're set.
