My BOINC PC has a ATI Rage IIc Graphics Card with 4MB RAM (Videomemory)
According to DirectX-Diagnose Tool, my Graphics-Card can only provide DirectDraw-Acceleration.
Direct3D & AGP Acceleration is not possible.!
What is the minimum amount of Videomemory my Graphics must have including DirectDraw,Direct3D Acceleration.

Thx a lot!

Graphic Card requirements for running Einstein@Home

Your card needs to be capable of doing something else as well: OpenGL 1.2

The graphics and screen saver are run in OpenGL 1.2, not Direct 3D.
So check if your video card is capable of doing OpenGL at all.
