I bought the game in a 4-CD version, but I didn't check the system requirements. My computer has an Intel video card, but the game requires an Nvidia card. It seems like my only option is to sell the game. If anyone is interested in buying it, please contact me. Or, if you have any advice regarding video cards, please let me know.

Actually, the problem isn't the video card manufacturer. I have an ATI 9600 Pro, and it works fine. The only issue is that I have 512MB of RAM, and I need to add more. So, you need to figure out what video card you have; it might be much simpler than you think! It would be a shame to sell it without even playing it! :) Write to me, and I'll help if I can.

The game's system requirements specify an ATI graphics card, but I have something completely different. How can I find out what graphics card I have?

In general: the integrated video on the motherboard has 64 MB, the processor is a Celeron 2400 MHz. There is 256 MB of RAM, which is not enough (I struggle with my 512 MB, and there's not much you can do with 256 MB). Is it an office computer? It doesn't look like a home computer, but that's not the point. The whole system needs to be replaced (or upgraded). You need to buy a video card, 1024 MB of RAM, and the processor is fine! That's basically it!

I think a video card from ATI 9600 or higher, or from nVidia, 6600 GT or higher!

Why sell the game? You could also replace the video card. That's what I did. Now I'm wondering if Heroes 5 was worth the sacrifice.
