I don' have a graphics card just onboard intel 810e. I
want to know some new good games which do not require a
graphics card. Please suggest some website or other info
for games that do not require a graphics card to play.
 
Most web site for the gaming companies have "system requirements" listed for
each game. You could check them. The primarily problem you're going to
find is lack of OpenGL and limited DirectX support with an onboard graphics
system. If your system has an AGP slot available, you may want to look into
a regular graphics card.

Hi Manik,
The Intel 810e is a display adapter in a chip, connected to your
motherboard. It works the same as a graphics card, but in a different
manner. Normally, it shares system memory with the Operating System. It
is a less expensive way to build a computer, but it works fine for most
games. There are a couple of things that make it difficult to work with
however. First, the shared system memory, by default, is usually very low.
It may be set at 2mb or 4mb which is to low for most games released today.
If you know, or have a friend that is familiar with system BIOS, you can
raise the amount of memory available to the display adapter so that it will
be more within reason with todays games. (This may be limited by the
motherboard configuration)
Second, make sure you have the latest driver for that video chip, go to
Intel or the manufactuerer of your motherboard website and find the latest
driver(s).
While not being the highest end video available, it should play most
games that don't demand T&L or extensive 3D functionality. Since games
today use 3D extensively, you will most likely be limited to older games.
With the improvements I have suggested you will be able to play many
more.

Thanks for your post!

specified in my BIOS? I mean just tell me what all I have
to change I have Award BIOS. Or if you couldnt help
please provide me with some link. I have 256 MB RAM so
