82810E Graphics Controller?

AFAIK this only has 4MB VRAM. I would be suprised if this ever ran MOH, but I am not sure.

This is a very *basic* video controller.

Sorry.

im dowloading a new driver for it as i type....The game installed fine and the intro movie plays great but when I try to go to training it freezes...then when it does go through all I get are siloehetes (spelling)..Is it a good idea to remove the other driver completetly befor I install the new one?

what can i do to improve the graph. cont.? new chip set?
Ive played other games with no problem..Max payne/half life, HL opposing force/ Delta force/DFlw,Roug spear.....

Well I still don't know if it will work (your Graphic card that is) but yes uninstall the original, go back to a *generic* windows one (VGA or something) then install the new one, rebooting between each change.

Also upgrade to Direct X v8.1.

Steel is right, the integrated video on your motherboard only supports 4 mb of ram. You can find it in the chart here: http://developer.intel.com/design/ch...rd/valuepc.htm

MoH requires a 16 mb card to run, so the game is probably filling up the available 4 mb of ram and then crashing when it runs out of texture memory. Your best bet is to buy a new PCI video card, since the Intel motherboard you have doesn't included a dedicated AGP slot. There's a couple of cards in the GeForce series available in PCI format that should work well. ATI also has a PCI version of its Radeon. You can probably find either for under $100.

Dont listen to the facts and figures Ben.
i too have a intergrated chipse 180 blah thingy.
i got the latest driver from www.Intel.com
i didnt bother uninstalling the old driver (i dont know how) i just ran the winzip and it installed it for me.
I dont have the full game, just the demo, but it works great. and usually...if the demo works so will the game.

I had the same problem with my intel 82810 graphics controller, but i d/l the latest drivers from intel and direct x 8.1, and everything worked fine.

intergrated video

/me points and laughs

intergrated video = th3 l0s3

Creole Ned · 02-04-2002, 12:46 AM

Some integrated chipsets allow you to use more system ram, so MoH may run on them. Not every Intel chipset restricts you to 4 mb. Most will give pretty lousy performance, though, unless you really ramp down the settings. But hey, if you're happy with it, that's all that matters.

Mustang · 02-04-2002, 02:07 AM

Wow, I thought intergrated chipsets went the way of the dodo. Didn't think there would be any home user still using them.

But hey if your happy with it, more power to ya.

Upgrade your ram as well Ben.
MOHAA requires 128mb system ram.
Your 126mb of ram is really the bare miminum needed to even run the game.
