man time 2 buy a new graphics card!! i have this same cr@ppy card.. got no funds to buy a new card rite now.. cos i want 6800 GT well as far as ya prob goes.. PRO SKATER can run smoothly on a onbord card.. but not TONY HAWKS 2.. same way u cant even run NFS HP2 properly in high settings in this card.. only way is to change the graphics card.. anywas u can get new drivers for ya comp.. frm here but trust me the new driver screwed my graphics more! rite now am not gettin into any games till i get my hands on 6800 GT!

If you want to play newer games, you have no other option than to get a newer video card. This has been taken off the Call of Duty box:

Supported video chipsets:
ATI Radeon 7200, 8500, 9000, 9500, 9600, 9800

All Nvidia Geforce chipsets (Geforce 1,2,3,4,FX,6-series)

Matrox Parhelia

Newer cards not mentioned, but also capable of running it include:

ATI Radeon 9200, X600, X700, X800

3D hardware Accelerator card required - 100% DirectX 9.0b compatible 32mb Hardware Texture & Lighting capable video card and latest drivers.

So, when you try to load CoD or TH:U2, you will obviously run into errors.

Well to tell ya the hard truth.....M64 is probably the worst intergrated Gfx chipset i have ever seen.....hell i dun know why ppl are still stuck with it or rather are "struck" by it.....Also what did u mean by nvidia site concentrating only On Geforce drivers.....let me tell ya that when Nvidia releases its latest drivers they tend to make it common serving for most of Thier compatible Gfx cards.....Plus the latest is the 66.93 drivers which is Both for Geforce as well as TNT2....so take it from any mirrored site they are gonna remain the same but if u still need em badly from another site here try this one *downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=904 u'll get the latest Nvidia Forceware 66.93 WHQL certified Drivers

As far as installation is concerned....its very simple just remove ur old Display drivers From the Device Manager and Then Install the Downloaded Drivers

trust me M64 aint gonna lead u anywhere when playing latest games....let alone COD

GUYS CHILL SHOW SOME RESPECT FOR OLD MR.TNT2
MAN I SUGGEST U CHANGE URE DESKTOP COLOUR TO 32BITS I HAD SUCH A PROBLEM SAAME WITH THPS2
I THINK THATS YOUR PROBLEM
I HAVE GEFORCE2 WATIN FOR FX6800 OR ATI X850

Pray tell me kind sir, how would changing the desktop color depth allow you to play Call of Duty when the chipset doesn't support it? If you'd said 3DAnalyze, I guess it's OK, but changing the desktop color depth?

u wanna konow about another bullshi@ card.....................ge force 5700 le (128mb),

i can play all games like the recent pacific assault and men of valor but in low resolution............

anyone knows how the 256 mb version of this works?

c'mon! go get a new Graphics Card!! in addition add up sth to ur RAM too!!
