Pixel Shader 1.1 problem and How to fix it.
I get lot of emails about Pixel Shader support problem. To short answer... Get a true Graphics Card if your computer has an onboard graphics card. If you have an AGP or PCI Express interface available it's the way to go! My card is an ATI X1600 512MB AGP. Amazon.com offers the newest version, the X1650 at $186.99 with Free shipping in the US. More information at ATI about the X1650. Here links to Amazon pages.
 |  | ATI Radeon X1650 Pro 512MB AGP Graphics Card |
|  | ATI Radeon X1650 Pro 512MB PCI-E Graphics Card |
AGP vs PCI Express, confused?
More information on Wikipedia.
- Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP)
- PCI Express (also known as PCIe or PCI-E)
Recommendation:
If your board support PCI Express... Go with it. Otherwise... not much choice.
Also Keep in mind that this Graphic card is the Minimum I recommend to play medieval II Total War in an acceptable condition. But feel free to buy newer card to be sure to be able to play future game correctly.
