go for a Nvidia 128MB graphic card
it would be around 6000K i think
and even upgrade the ram to 1GB
that would cost you 4-5K

VIA/S3G Unicrome IGP sucks. I had this one in my old pc. First games used to run fine. Then I reinstalled XP and downloaded drivers frm site and after that no game was running properly. In every game I started facing prob. Even I updated the drivers still same prob. Anyways u shld get a gfx card.

hey tech-geek what are you talking man...

for 5k , you can get 7300GT
and a 6200 for 1.9k , all 256 mb versions...

6000 no 6K you can get 7300GT 512mb(gDDR3)

DEPENDS on your slot type, PCIe or AGP
__________
and 64 MB cards are now not in the market, even 128 mb ones are now going out dated...:p

Your are talking about the LE and i am about SE. there is abig difference between them, and after all gaming also depends on System config i think.....
and other than that you wont get any options as such, rather than 4k for 7300GS...

if you meant for GTA SA, that file stores the gfx. settings & all , in your case it might have got corrupted, so if u delete it, the game will create a new one:wink:
