    The system looks fine, possibly you want to upgrade the VID card - slightly old, there are quite a few newer NVIDIA cards that could run the game more effectively (or at all) at around £50 - £60

    look at: www.pricewatch.co.uk - under computers/reviews there's some graphics cards..you'll have to make sure it's got the right connectio on it for your computer...either AGP or PCI, i think...
    the Geforce FX5200 looks pretty good...

    Very unlikely you would get a PCI version, just buy one and it'll be fine. Personally, I'd stretch your budget and go for the Ge-Force FX 5700 for £100 or the 5900 XT for £150.

    I got the radeon 9800 graphics card with 128MB for £80-odd quid. Works beautifully.

    It's fine. Save the money for the game. Remember "If you can run C&C Generals, you can run RTW" And I ran Generals on a GF2 for years.

    MX is generally junk.

    the Geforce4 mx is really based on a geforce 2 core.

    try to get a real DX9 card if you can.
