I'm looking to get a new computer soon and understand the NVidia GeForce 6150SE isn't currently supported.
Is there a "list" of unsupported chips so I know which ones to stay away from????? |

they are also listed in the readme.txt file on your DVD in the support section
be aware that since the game was released 18 months ago, there are a number of ATI and Nvidia cards that are not on the list but that work well
... and you dont want a chip (;which generally means an integrated video source) but an actual separate video card
if its a laptop, stay away from intel for the graphics chip |

Windows Vista Home Premium SP1-32bit : , 2.30 GHz AMD Athlon 64x2-4400 : 2GB Ram : Nvidia GeForce 8600 GTS
My personal rule for putting: If it looks straight, shoot it straight- 7 times out of 10, itll go in. However if there is any contour at all- screw it, itll be a 2 putt Par :D |

Hi... GT or GTS series of nvidia are performing much better on TW game, compared with the SE series. So i believe it is good idea to go for GT or GTS card of nvidia. |

The 6150 SE is a graphics chipset embedded on the motherboard; for what it is, it's a very good chipset, but nowhere as strong as a dedicated gpu.
Dbeast, you most likely don't need to purchase a whole new computer; you can probably purchase a video card, and install it on your existing motherboard for a fraction of the cost of a new machine. |

I'm looking for something faster. I've got a single core AMD and looking for a quad core AMD |

The AMD core that youre talking about is your Central Processing Unit,,,,,, thats different from your Graphic Processing Unit, although it does play a role in gaming. What youre most in need of (; at least as far as this game is concerned ) is separate GPU......... something along the lines of this......http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121289
copy and paste that line into your browsers address box....... |

Helps to say what your looking for as far as a laptop or desktop....
For laptops, most have integrated gpus and for the most part unless a gaming one is almost next to impossible to upgrade. |
