Okay, I've gotten myself a copy of Black and White 2 for the PC... only problem is that apparently I don't have something that supports Pixel Shading 1.0 or higher (whatever the hell that means) so I've no way to actually get any game time in. =[
Those who have the game and are obviously more technical then I am mind lending a hand? I'm not entirely sure where to go to grab these pieces I need to actually get the thing running.
Much thanks.

Man, I thought I was gonna pop in here and talk about how sweet the game was ... damn. >_>
I can't really help you, since I suck at computers. My only consolation is to say that my only experience playing the game has been on someone else's computer, as it will barely run on my laptop. =( I'll be able to play it 'praper' when I get my new desktop in January.

You probably just need a video card. I got one for only like $70 and it's GeForce 7300 or something. Great price and great card.

There was display mode and moitor... but I didn't think those mattered. But yeah, that's what I pulled.

I'm gonna guess that's shitty as well? Are there good graphic card options for a laptop? I mean, I assume I need a smaller card, since it's a laptop with limited space. What can I do to get this bad boy running UT2004 without slow-down?

It's a shitty card, Kril.
And you can run UT2k4 on 64 MB vid without slowdown. I should know, since I do it all the time. 
My vid card blows too. In fact, my RAM is starting to fall behind too. The only thing I've really got going for me is the processor, which is still ahead of what most people got.
Still, I don't really care about computer gaming too much, so I don't bother throwing money at my compubox. Though, I'd really love to get a better video card. Mine's... egregious.

I don't know if the question was answered, but, Gohan, I went through the *exact* same problem last Christmas when I got B&W2.
Basically, there's nothing that you can download to help the issue. You simply need a new graphics card. Sorry bud.

I'm breaking down and updating the system, relatives gave around $100+ in Best Buy giftcards so I thought what the hell.
Which graphics card would you happen to suggest, Rai? A list of a few where cash is no option can help.

get a x850
also though, you will need to check what your motherboard can take. Don't get a PCI-E if you don't have a slot for it.
However, a good middle range would be a G Force 6900...I think, I'm not real up to date with graphic cards.

I need to know what slot you have. That will help me list the right ones. You need to know what slot your mother board has and what its capable of holding.
Most cards are made for both PCI-E and for AGP. So really you could suggest any card that is made for both, he would just need to get it for the right platform.

Murasaki, some day we got to sit down, and you basically got to tell me what to do to make my computer awesome again. Either you or Waff. I'm just choosing you 'cuz I think you'll call me an idiot fewer times than Waff will.

Alright, I know this is getting to be a pain in the ass for those helping me but...
How exactly can I check what type of slot I have without cracking open the computer to look?

An Intrepid? Ergh. Okay, but... V-6 horsepower's... expensive. I'm sure I can find some cheap tricks for it, though...
