Hi click start\ settings\control panel\ system icon hardware tab device manager display adapter
should give the details of the on board graphics. your onboard should be enough to run CnC , however; command your conquers will run on any old voodoo 3dfx cards pref a 3000 or 5500 so you can play quake3 see ebay spoilt for choice, i would check 1st to see if your motherboard has a AGP slot so you can upgrade to a newish cheapo 1 by disabling the onboard graphics then go for a geforce 440, x 4 agp. If you are that "new" get some one who can do it for you so not to get ripped off, CnC is a bit old nowadays.
