First of all, my english arrent the best so please dont complaint.

The problem is my soldat graphics, before i got a new computer(jeez it too me 5 mounths to make enough money....) the graphics where well... normal...

Now that i got a new computer somthing has changed, ect i can only see like 50% of the guns(the egde of them is gone) most of the sceneri is either gone or i cant see all of them niether, and worst of all [V] - I cant see my gunfire! or others [:-weepn]! im getting a bit used to it by now, but does anyone know what may cause it?

It sounds like you have the infamous video card that I can't remember the name of. Savage? S3? something... If that's the case, then you're s.o.l. until you get a new card. [:-banghead]

you probably have a Savage graphics card, its a known problem.

youll have to buy another graphics card, or try software mode (enable force software in soldat setup).

Sounds almost like the problems on my S3 Virge Dx/Gx card... but I can at least see the gunfire.
Anyway, it's just to get a new graphic card.

Im doubt you have a savage card if the system is new. What is your video card?
Get the latest drivers for it or try other drivers

i can get a geforce 4 mx 64 mb for 48 euro here in Belgium.

make sure your motherboard has an AGP slot though.

if it only has PCI slots, go for a geforce 2 mx PCI with 32 MB DDR RAM, i had that one in my last PC.
i think its the fastest PCI card youll find (maybe a geforce 3, but i doubt it), and it should be REALLY cheap.

42 ? a Radeon 9200 which is better than Geforce4. If you want a really good and cheap card(over 160?) Radeon 9600. But Firstly what PC do you have?

The answer to the ram question is...Your video card is a 32mb shared...meaning it takes 32mb from your ram, 256 - 32 = 224 :)

PCI and AGP are different slots on your Mainboard.
PCI is an old standard that is only used for peripherals nowadays. Some time ago it was also used for GFX cards.
AGP is a newer standard used for GFX cards but will soon be replaced by PCI Express.
