Age of Empires 3




Posted by Colonel

I went to Future Shop on Boxing day and to my suprise i saw Age of Empires 3, the game i've been craving to play. I bought it, went home took the time to load all 3 disks, got ready to play.......Window comes up telling me my computer is either too old or doesn't have enough graphic support for this game. I know i have enough graphics, but my computer is 5 years old.

Is there anyway for me to play my beloved Age of Empires 3 without buying a new computer?

I had originally put this in other systems because im an idiot and didn't see taht there was a computer game forum, sorry.

No, not the graphics i bought a graphic card. Its the prosserer I need a 1.4 GB prosseser, and my computer only has a 800 MB. The sad thing is i can't return it because i opened it. Bummer

Does your PC motherboard have a socket that supports a processor over 1.4 GHz? otherwise, you can get an 'upgrade board' (I think it plugs into a PCI port), which has a P4 socket.
