Problem 1: You have an X300.

That pretty much esplains everything.

Sort of. It's like a Radeon 9200 for PCI-X use.

I've just bought a new computer which has this graphics card, so i dont have this problem, can someone tell me where i need to download the update drivers for it? As i dont have a clue where to get them, or where to install them.

:lol:

just because i have a lower end gfx card dosent mean anything... I was thinking that my pc was new so didnt ned to get drivers... but i was wrong... I needed new drivers... The problem before was the AA/AF... it works perfctly now... I bought this computer not for the gaming aspects but for the multimedia things... I bought this so i could take my old vhs tapes and convert them to put on a dvd... Well oh well i really care what u say about my pc... 8)

Drew, my computer (which is for xmas) is new, and comes with the x300. So was it easy enough to update the drivers? As i might do that first thing on xmas morning (wont take long to download them, i'm on broadband), so that it is ok and ready for all the games i've bought :D.
Cheers.

man, just try with a new driver, they come out almost everyday (well, not exactly everyday, but often :D ). I downloaded a new driver for my old GeForce 64 Mb and it goes very well although my pc is a bit old now
