Okay, I have a bit of a problem. I have a bad graphics card, an intel extreme graphics 82945G card. Obviously I cant even run shaders 2.0 atm. i dont have enough cash for a new card atm.

I heard that i could do something low cost, but i want to know if its at all possible.
By updating my firmware, Can I use shaders 2.0 on this chipset? (82945G)

Please dont laugh at my ignorance, i mainly concentrate on other hardware. btw, i only just stepped up from a pentium II so, umm yeah. you get the idea.

I was going to say:
I think he's aware of the age of his system...

but Soulless beat me to it.

Soulless, from a guy running a 5 y/o Pentium III on it's last legs: I feel your pain.
