Answer 2

well i would suggest you to buy a good video card because you might wanna play other games like sims 2 ,for example the empire earth which is also a strategy game but with much better graphics

i would suggest you to go for a nvidia 9600 gt

that would cost you around 175$ US (8000 rs in indian currency)

but if you want to play only this game then u can go fora cheap card like nvidia 8400 which only costs around 30$ US(1200 rs indian currency)
