Theorectically(sp) speaking, it should. A GF4 is well beyond the recommended specs for the game. Be advised though, that people who have been running beefier configurations have not been able to run it. Make sure you have the newest drivers, and patches for your software before installing.

Do you mind posting the rest of your system? a decent graphics card is not all that is required

Oh...I think that the rest of the system is fine...

Intel Fedora motherboard with PIII 933 processor
256 meg ram
20 gig drive
windows 2000 operating system

The only problem I could see is that the video is integrated (Intel 82815 graphics controller )...And I only have 1 open slot and it is PCI....That is why I was looking at PCI cards and hoping that this particular card, Visiontek Xtasy GeForce4 MX420 64MB SDR PCI, would be adequate.

Thanks

It certainly looks capable, however, others with capable machines have been unable to successfully install/play the game. You can always check out bioware's site and look for updates regading hardware conflicts experienced with NWN.
