I think i have a 32mb video card, but far crys minimum is 64mb, i have call of duty and its minimum is 32mb, but the graphics are excellent. I have a 2.4 ghz processor and 496 mb of ram. Does anyone have any suggestions if this game will work or not, or how i can really see what kind of video card i have.

Since you don't meet the minimum requirements I'd be somewhat skeptical. I can't say for certain whether the game will work or not so I'd defer to the minimum requirements.
To find out what kind of video card you have you could follow the procedure outlined on the following website. I tried it before posting this message and it accurately identified my card and I'm using windows 2000.
Video Card Identification Procedure (http://www.pcguide.com/proc/id/video-c.html)
Incidentally, to get to a DOS prompt you can always click "Start", click "Run...", type "CMD" in the text box and click "OK". Then you can follow the instructions as written.
I hope this helps.

I answered your other post before I saw this one...
A guy I know tried running it on a 32 MB GeForce2MX and it wouldn't even start up. It just locked up everytime he tried. I still say the best way to find out is to try the demo, if you really want to know.
My best advice would be to do what he did, find a GeForce4 real cheap (he got a 128 MB Ti4600 for like $60, lightly used).
