[QUOTE="Valdemar, post: 367840, member: 67668"] I have an older Dell GX240 SFF which I'd like to convert to an HTPC for my bedroom. MP is not very happy with the ATI RAGE 128 PRO that this box has, actually it is not happy at all as full-screen doesn't work and windowed mode looks like a bunch of vertical lines. My question is, is there any way to put MP into to a mode that is friendlier for older hardware? Like to disable some of the newer DX features or the like. So far it does sound like I need to get a newer graphics card, here lies is another problem, the PSU in this box is rated at 180W only if my memory serves me well, but most of the newer cards require 250W+. So I need to be careful in my selection. Any suggestions for an PSU-friendly older AGP graphics adapter that MP will run on reasonably well? If not yet obvious I'm not looking to play any HD content :) Thanks. [/QUOTE]
