MOH:AA MINIMUM CONFIGURATION

Windows XP, Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows 98, or Windows 95
(Windows NT is not supported)
450 MHz Intel Pentium II or 500 MHz AMD Athlon processor
128 MB RAM
8x CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive
1.2 GB free hard disk space plus space for saved games (additional
space required for Windows swap-file and DirectX 8.0 installation)
16 MB OpenGL capable video card using an NVIDIA GeForce3, NVIDIA
GeForce2, NVIDIA GeForce 256, NVIDIA Riva TNT2, NVIDIA Riva TNT,
ATI Radeon, ATI Rage 128 Pro, ATI Rage 128, PowerVR3 Kyro II, or
PowerVR Kyro chipset with OpenGL and DirectX 8.0 compatible driver
DirectX 8.0 compatible sound card
Keyboard
Mouse

Requires 16MB OpenGL capable vid card... looks like you are out of luck.

Since decent video cards that can hit the minimum spec are so cheap, why not upgrade? Heck, Radeon 9000s are sub-C-note. What are your other specs?

MOHAA, like all Quake3 engined games, is OpenGL only.

Even if your card could do openGL in XP, it'd be a slide show running MOHAA. That game's a real system hog..

I've run that game in multiplayer on my LAN and used my test rig along with my other computers.
My test rig is a 300mhz Pent II with 128MB RAM and a first generation 16MB TNT card.

It gave me a headache

DirectX is a lot more than Direct3D.

Then you also know that the program can require DirectX and still use OpenGL for the renderer.
