From: kytten Milosz what type of graphic card do i need Care to tell us what computer you have? What slot you have free? AGP? PCI? PCI-Express? What are your other computer specs? Ram? CPU? Current video card? What is your price range? You can't just buy any video card, its like calling up a mechanic and just saying my car is broke, we need more info.

In simple terms you need a card from Nvidia or ATI. You need to work out the interface your PC uses ( as said above ) then work out which card to buy based on budget.
A shortlist covering most budgets that will work with SL is :-
Nvidia 6600, 6800, 7300, 7600, 7800 and 7900 model ranges
ATI X800, X850, X1600, X1800, X1900 ( I think X1300 is ok too ) model ranges.
Other models will work but these cover from roughly £50 to over £500.
