    These are my exact specs (HP) with ATI Radeon 345 chip. I was under the assumption tat it could not drive the game. But it can eh?

      Okay Game8544...You are right where I was a few days ago. Wanted to upgrade my video card and only had an AGP slot. A complete upgrade is coming from me sometime next year. Newegg.com had a good deal on the HIS ATI x1650 XT 256meg. It was only $119 after rebate. I think this expired on 3-31.

      I went with this card..ATI x1650XT 256 meg card.

      I was choosing between that one and the XFX 7600 GT from Nvidia. Both are basically equal cards. You also want to try to get GDDR3 memory vs. GDDR2. From what a friend told me that not much, if anything, out there requires 512 meg of ram on a video card. Cards now days seem to process everything at such a fast pace that not much actually sits in the memory of the card waiting to be processed. I was previously running MVP with an ATI 9700 pro 128meg. When running fraps, my frame rate rarely dropped below 60, but still I could see the ball stutter when it was thrown.

      Anyways see link for a good article on cards. If you flip to page 7 it gives a good reference of whats better then what in cards.

          I just finished trying out MVP 05 on my HP laptop... I had just purchased a new memory chip, so now my total memory is 768 MB RAM. I have a built in Radeon AGP video chip, and an Athlon processor.

          Here's the thing... The game runs fine, with minimal slowdown. I was actually excited by this. But... The players, they have certain patches of invisibility. Kind of like you can tell they're mapped out, but they've got this "Invisible Man" thing going on, usually on their back, where the numbers go, and on their thighs... Everything else is cool, but I'm just wondering what I can do to address this... I can always play it on my PC here at home, but I was kinda looking forward to taking my laptop to work and playing on it when I have some down periods in my office. Is this a memory issue, or is there something I have to adjust to get the full player (and umpire) rendering? I got the laptop off ebay, it came with 2 256 MB chips, I had planned on upgrading it with 2 512 chips.
