goto http://www.glsetup.com/
and download GLsetup.. this nifty little program will tell you if your card is GL capable or not and even download the latest drivers for it (or the closest it can find which is NVIDIA TNT on my Velocity 4400) when (if) you have found your card has GL capabilities and have the new driver run Legacy Launcher and click setup and select OpenGL where it says Software(default)...... run Legacy and gape in awe at its smooth textures and lighting effects

16meg AGP really should be GL or at least 3dfx capable..

Well, if worse comes to worse and your card does not support OpenGL, there IS an alternative. Chances are 99.99% that your 3D card supports Direct3D...

So all you have to do is get an OpenGL to Direct3D wrapper (and these are easy to find, search on Google)

Some people might frown upon me for saying this, but these wrappers allow you to play OpenGL games on just about any 3D card in existance, and graphics are very good, as is speed.

Regards, Gus101.
