gillies Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 If you are right about what your video card is it is no wonder you are having some problems, a Matrox Millenium G200 PCI only has 8 MB of memory! If you check the system requirements on the box, San Andreas is only supposed to work when your video card has 64 MB of memory or more. Looking at what you have there it probably would be best to get another computer but you may be able to avoid doing that if you really don't want to by upgrading to another newer PCI video card that is more powerful and has more memory (I'm presuming your computer doesn't have AGP which is why it has a PCI video card in the first place). GeForce FX 5200 and Radeon 9200 are both available as PCI cards I think, and they should both work to some extent and should also be pretty cheap these days, and it may be possible to get something better than that for PCI depending on where you live and how much you are willing to spend.
