Need help getting fallout 3 to work

I'm not sure if it will run or not, but when I do try to run it that it requires either GEForce4 4400 or Radeon 8500 or greater.

I tried to find how to download them, but I have no idea what i'm doing and why I need them.

Help?

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but those are graphics cards. You can't download them, you'd need to buy them and put them into your computer. New games like Fallout 3 need newer graphics cards for them to work properly. You might be able to run it without the card, but there would be terrible lag and a lot of stuff would be really messed up.

Nowadays graphics cards start at around $70, I think.

 

Ah. Okay that makes much more sense then. I'm not sure what graphics card i have atm, but I have been trying to get a new one.

 

You can check what Graphic card you have by going to:

Start>Programs>Accessories>System Tools> System Information

On the System Information screen - Expand the 'components' tree and click on 'display'

That should give you all the Display information. First one is the graphic card.
