rasberrybeard Report post Posted October 17, 2005 Hey I know that card! And its not nearly up to date enough to run EL. Your best bet is to keep saving your money until you can afford a more modern one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Derin Report post Posted October 17, 2005 The Savage card is made by S3 and not very compatible with most modern games (including EL) To update your video drivers, look at this page for more info: http://www.softwarepatch.com/utilities/s3savage4.html se also: http://www.s3graphics.com/legacy.jsp ("discontinued products") Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
