Can I run MediaPortal properly with my old DirectX7/8 VGA-Card?

NO. Since MediaPortal uses VMR9 a DirectX 9 compatible videocard is required and older cards are not supported. It is possible that older VGA-cards may also work, but you will have to accept a higher CPU load.

You will find more information on the MediaPortal Requirements page. More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
