    Hello, I have a few questions about gaming firstly about rise and fall of nation. I saw that game in the shops and i took a look at the minimal configuration and under the graphic cards it had ATI X300 X600 X800 but not ATI X700. I also noticed that the graphic card had compatible with
    directx9.b but usually on the other games there is "must be compatible with Directx 9.c. Does that mean that a X700 can't play rise and fall and any other directX9.b game?

    Secondly about online play. How do you get connected to a server, is there a fee?

    The X700 can play it; while it only supports DirectX 9.0b, that is in hardware. It supports DirectX 9.0c in software.

    And the NBR God Chaz has the anwser again! The x700 will still be able to play any game even for the next couple years. Even if they are on lowest settings.

    Depends on which games. Most MMORPGs do, but some games have the ability for players to play online for free.

    The Battlefields are free to play online. An MMORPG is a Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game. World of Warcraft is a good example of a MMORPG.
