Does it have onboard graphics that share the system RAM?

hp

lol

 

[MOFO]

on board i think,


compaq presario
amdsepron processor
3000+
983MHz 448 mb of ram

If it has onboard you wont be able to play it as your 512mb of ram is being shared by the graphics which shall use normally 64mb.

So 64 - 512 = 448mb.

Get more Ram.

 

[MOFO]

settings are at

drive: c:[presario]
space availabel 81846mb
initial size(MB) 7659
Maximum Size(MB) 9232

compaq presario laptop?

i believe i have spare ram for this lying around - let me look

2 ram slots right?

 

[MOFO]

no its a actual pc.

 

[Nigel]

Without buying more ram or a seperate graphics card there is no way around it.

Even if you had more memory the simple fact you're using onboard graphics* means a game like TDU will runs like a pile of sh*t even if you could get it to work.

* - Before anyone starts quoting more of the decent onboard GPU's I doubt a Presario has anything more advanced than a wind up clock.
