Hi Evan,
Excuse me for butting in here, but you do actually have a 'graphics card' built into the PC's motherboard, but it does not meet the minimum requirements. It would help if we knew the motherboard identity, but I appreciate that you may not know, or be able to determine this. It may help to let us know the name of the PC - manufacturer and model number.

Regards,
Ged

Hi Evan,
I've just looked up iQon in Google, but they're not very generous with specifications! The serial number you gave doesn't help; what would be useful is the model number - is there any other number/code on the label where you found the serial number?

If you start Google and enter iqon pc in the search bar and click on Search. When the next screen displays, click in Images at the top left of the screen and you will be shown some pictures. Let me know which one looks like yours, if any.

Alternatively, if you have SiSoft Sandra installed, you can use that to identify various parts of your PC.

Cheers,
Ged

Hi again, Evan,
I've just seen your post on the Dublin/Cork thread. Have you definately been told that your PC doesn't have a socket for a graphics card? Unless it's a laptop, it would be unusual for a desktop PC not to have an AGP, PCI or PCI-e socket available, depending on its age. Some laptops can even take a low profile graphics card, but I think these come at a price premium.
Since your processor is rated at 2.80GHz and if it's not a laptop, then I think you would have a PCI-e socket. Any further details of your PC would be helpful. Send me a PM and I'll try and get you sorted.

Cheers,
Ged

UPDATE: Is your PC a Q2130VX? I've found it on the iQon site - it has a 2.8GHz processor (Pentium D 920 Dual Core) with 1G of RAM, which, as Dean pointed out, is not sufficient to run XP and RailSimulator easily, and the integrated graphics will be taking some of that. If this is yours, it looks like a 'normal' PC; all we've got to find out now is the motherboard identity. I'll keep searching!
