    it should be supported though if your operating system doesn't support dx 10.1 or 10 than getting a dx 10.1 card won't matter because dx 9 works on dx 10 card but you don't acutally use dx 10 so its basicly just a bonuse if you have vista or win 7 since the operating system controls direct x instructions not the graphics card it just processes the supported intructions.... I know I may have jjust confused you so feel free to ask for clarification if need be...

    Thanks. I just don't want to spend money on a card that won't work.

    The problem is that the game says that a dual core CPU is required. Now, in terms of raw performance, a Pentium 4 matched with a Radeon HD 4670 should be able to play STO (provided some serious RAM is prsent), as as long as the game wasn't stubborn about starting up, you'd be fine. We've already had confirmation that the game will run on video cards below the minimum specifications, it would actually be nice if someone tried to run it on a below-spec CPU so that they could report the results on how well it worked.

    :confused: "You need to be more specific..."

    :o "If you have a P4 3.4GHz you should be OK, if you have a 2.4GHz not so much. Also, why waste your money on old tech? AGP is dead and you are likely going to pay $200 for that card. Why not save up a bit longer and get a whole new system"

    :rolleyes: "But assuming you want to shove money in that blackhole of a system make sure you have at least 1 GB of RAM - 2 GB would help a lot with smoothness - and that you have 3GHz of faster CPU. You should be able to run the game fine with that set-up. Mind you, the graphics/resolution would have to be lowered..."
