Start->Run

Type dxdiag

press enter

After the window pops up and finishes loading, click on the Display tab at the top.  You'll see, in the Device frame, the very first line, labeled "Name" is the device model.  Mine says RADEON X800 Series, which is word-for-word the same thing at the drivers website.

And yes, downloading the drivers is free.

Is that what dxdiag told you?  What were the other things listed in the Device frame?

[durnurd]

I think you missed a step or two.  That information is very similar to a different piece of information that we don't care about.

When you first run DXDiag, the first thing that pops up is the System tab, and in the System Information frame, the Processor information is what you just gave.

You need to open the Display tab (at the top), and look at the Device name which, if you have a RADEON card, will have the word RADEON in it.

mine says its a radeon 7500 but the game requires at least radeon 9500. where can i get this and what is the cost?

[dutch_619]

CompUsa, Best Buy, Fry's etc. all should have video cards. I am unsure of the ATI pricing but you can get (what I think is an equivalent in Nvidia) 7800 for around 150$.

so if i had a better graphics card, would rollercoater tycoon 3, which does say to get an ati cardon the box, run smoother ?    ( it slows down when there are lots of rides and moving items in view at once)
