    NOOB question reagarding Mach 3 video card requirement

    Their site says that to use a 32 bit desktop computer it must have:

    "Non-integrated Video Card with 32MB RAM"

    Most of the PC's I've been looking at have integrated video.

    Would I need to purchase and install a separate video card to run Mach 3?

    If this is posted in the wrong place, please feel free to move it or direct me to the correct sub forum.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    You'd have to try it to see, but most newer PC's will work with integrated video.

    IV computer will work, but may be limited to low screen resolution.
