I have a system running XP which is a few years old. I have just run up against a game that my card will not support because mine is not shader 1 capable. Could someone review my dxdiag and recommend some specific video cards in the medium price range. I've done a little research but would like assurances that what I buy will be compatible and a wise choice.
Thank you in advance.
