Default Can Anyone Help Me?
I am decent with the programming of a computer but not the hardware. I have a Dell Dimension 3000 and I really like it. However, I really like the Age of Empires games and I recently bought the 3rd one and my computer will not run it due to sound and video card issues as well as virtual memory. I'm not quite sure what virtual memory is or how it affects the computer proccessing. How can I remedy my problem of not being able to play my game?

Your system is relatively old, compared to the specifications for the game and you are likely going to be needing an upgrade in order to play it unfortunately.

I agree with sazar. Sometimes computer hardware just cannot handle new games. Best you could do would be download all the latest drivers and if the game has a compatibility mode, give that a shot.

Intel Core 2 Quad 2.4GHz, XFX 780i SLI, HIS ATI RADEON 4850 1gig IceQ4 , 8gig Gskill Dual Channel Memory, 30" Dell Monitor @ 2560x1600
