I recently decided to download the NHL 06 demo from EAsports.com, all went
well until it was time to play it. During the front loading stage of the
game, it turns off and a notice comes on the the screen and says "3D
accelarator card or video card was not fully intialized... contact your
manufacturor". You see, I have no idea what a 3D accelarator card is. Where
can I buy one?
 
It's telling you that your graphics are not good enough. You need a good
graphics card to play a lot of newer high power games. What you need or can
use depends entirely on your computer. What kind of computer? What model?
What kind of graphics do you have, onboard or a graphics card? How many watts
is the power supply on your computer? What kind of slots does your computer
have inside? There are several different kinds of graphics cards. You need to
know this stuff about your computer to proceed.
For instance my new computer came with Intel 950 graphics integrated into
the motherboard. Good but won't play intense games. My PC also had an
available PCI express slot so I installed an ATI X700 Pro graphics card.
