Hi Bat
my motherboard (K7AMA) has 1 AGP4x slot for AGP 2.0-compliant interface.

Dose this mean that i can't use a AGP8x.

bat69:
You can run 8x cards, just you won't be able to get the benefits of the additional bandwidth (speed)

You should be able to pick up 4x cards going a lot cheaper now as most are converting to 8x ... so shops will be trying to get rid of the old stocks

Camstop:
According to the spec for the game my graphics card should be ok.
So i downloaded the latest driver and the latest direct x, I also tried with lower resolution and 16 bit colour instead of 32 bit.
but when i try to start the game i get a box saying hardware transform and lighting req'd. can i solve this problem without renewing my graphics card.

Sandra:
I cant find anything yet about how to do it but I found this article that explains what it is  :)

Its not the same game but sounds like the same problem.It loks like your card doesnt support this function unfortunately and needs one of the later 7000 ones to run it  :(

In some instances, when attempting to launch Spider-Man: The Movie, the game will display the warning message:

&quot;You must have a TNL capable 3D card to play this game.&quot;

Spider-Man: The Movie requires a 3D graphics card that fully supports Hardware Transformation and Lighting (T&amp;L).  

With the exception of RADEON VE and RADEON 7000, all RADEON series products (RADEON, RADEON 7200, etc.) support this feature.

Products based on the RADEON VE/RADEON 7000 or earlier ATI graphics chipsets, such as the RAGE 128 PRO or RAGE 128, do not support Hardware T&amp;L and can not be used with this game.

If you are using a graphics card which supports Hardware T&amp;L, the warning message may occur for the following reasons:

Desktop Color Depth is set too low
Graphics hardware acceleration slider is not set to full
For further information please refer to Activision's support site and reference Answer ID 8293.
