I fear the only solution is to invest in a new graphics card. the voodoo cards can only handle very low-res textures, thats why most modern games should have problems running on them.

id get a new one if i had the money, my computer i just a compilation of a bunch of parts from other computers i had laying around the house, most of the parts are good, i do need a slave drive, my HD is only 20 gigs, hard to deal with, i could use a new network card, and a new graphic card is on the list, it still doesnt make sense though since iv'e had this mod on another computer before using the same exact graphics card,dunno, but iv'e been craving bridge commander for a while and i ges the only option is to save some money for a new card, would u have any suggestions on a good graphics card the doesnt cost over 150 bucks

i use a geforce FX5500, i bought it earlier on this year for £50 - thats british pounds and cheap i thought, i play FO fine on it and the most recent and modern game i have played is company of heroes, ran rather well with decent textures and res for playing. u might want to check with any other games as my card may not handle them since its old. you could probably find a FX6000 series for about the same price on ebay.

or ask 4 of 11 - he knows this stuff better than me

A 7600GT...256mb DDR3, relatively fast and good performance is only around 110USD.

About £85.

It will last a while =].

I'm pretty experienced with Nvidia Drivers, SLi and performance tweaks too so just lemme know.

dude, you will probably be better off, just saving a bit longer and buying a brand new computer.
the comp im using cost less than £850 and it is capable of playing Oblivion with maxed out settings very comfortably.

I have a fairly decent computer as well (in signature), was fairly expensive at the time, but I'm looking towards upgrades when the next series (After series Nvidia cards come out.
