    x3100 probably isn't powerful enough to run it.

    Which version of Battlefield?

    BF1942, BF:V BF2, or BF2142?

    Details plzkthx.

    Sad thing is, these days, games tend to always have something to do with the graphics card.

    I doubt that card will run Battlefield 2142, let alone Battlefield 1942.

    Probably not. The x3100 is NOT a gaming card.

    Install the latest drivers. You'll be able to run it.

    You can get 20-40 fps on 800x600 medium depending on your system config.

    And yes I am talking about Battlefield 2 and 2142.

    I'll be damned if the x3100 can run BF2 or BF2142 on a 16 player server.

    i only need to play single player. it says here my version is 7.14.10.1253 is that the latest because it says that the driver is not validated for this computer. contact your manufacturer but i am 100% sure that i downloaded the correct drivers from intel. i have a D630

    Hmm. That's a pretty outdated driver, but its the latest from Dell. Most of the manufacturers are pretty slow on updates. I wish they would stop using proprietary hardware that ONLY updates with their own drivers if you want it without a problem.

    Try the Intel drivers: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/fil...32-bit+version&lang=eng&strOSs=156&submit=Go!

    If it doesn't work, you'll have to wait until Dell updates it. E-mail Dell and convince them to update the damn site :).
