And yes, you will have to upgrade from integrated, beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Yup, never,
Looks like I will treat myself to a video card. Suggest anything?
FX5200 ok-MX440?

onboard vid probably won't even run PlayOnline well.

the minimum specs aren't too bad--so it depends on how future-proof you want your video card.
it looks & feels great on my 9600pro, but it runs well enough on my Ti200.

if you don't plan on buying another game--or don't care about how pretty it'll be--just get a low end one and save some money.

yeah i think i will jump into the world of MMORP with FFXI. Looks interesting and certainly a challenge. went to the website, Do i really have to use an ATI 9000 or something like that. How will the game look just using onboard video?

btw--FFXI is a good choice if you're interested in mmorpg's.
it has a low learning curve (of course, not as low as RO) and very good gameplay.

My friend is trying to get me in on this.

The idea of paying to play a game I already own is ridiculous.
