Okay, so I've had age of empires II for a while, always worked fine (on my other computer). So, I tried to play it on my new computer, which is running Vista. It all looks fine on the menu, until the match starts up and the grass and water look messed up. Okay, so I try running it in compatibility mode, then I try changing all of the other settings (Run in 256 colors, run in 640 x 480 screen resolution, etc). Nothing works, the grass is green and red, and the water is blue, black, and purple.

I took a screenshot in-game, but it itself is messed up. The basic colors are right though. Everything looks okay when I'm playing, except for those two things.

I probably will not buy the computer if it comes with that card; if the card can't play games of course. But I'm not going to be playing Crysis or COD4 (for a while at least). It just needs to be able to play halo PC, half-life 2, and Halo 2 Vista with decent framerates.

Also if it sucks then a recommended card would be appreciated.

How much are they, and what are the models if possible
