Hi chemical,


I don't think the 82810E will allow you to play the game, unfortunately. Here's how to check:


Go to Start>Run>Type "dxdiag" (no quotes)>Hit OK...look on the DirectX Diagnostic Tool under Display for Approximate Total Memory. This needs to say at _least_ 32 MB. Additionally the 82810E is what is called an "onboard" graphics chip, meaning it is built in to your motherboard.


It has no graphics RAM (memory) of its own, and in effect "borrows" memory from you total system RAM. This in itself is not an issue, but I don't think the 82810E can "borrow" enough memory to run the game, or support certain graphics feature that the game requires in order to play.

If you received an invitation, the best way to check is follow the instructions, download, install and try to play.


If you experience problems, it is likely that the onboard chip does not support certain other features that Fiesta needs (anti-aliasing, pixel shading, and a few other features. It may be that the game would start and play for you, but have some grpahics issues that could only be solved by playing it on a more advanced, dedicated graphics accelerator.
