What is Hardware T&L?

Where do I find out what kind of video card I have?  I am lost in XP>

T&L stands for Transform and Lighting. There are a number of articles about it at nVidia's web site. You can access them by clicking here.

A search on hardware T&L using http://www.google.com (a good search engine for just about any question you many) gave the following sites, among others, that may help:

Fgross,

Thank you for using the Dell Community Forum.
Your system order states it shipped with an ATI RAGE ULTRA 128, 32MB.
Specs can be found here.

So otherwise I chose the wrong option for my system and what I am going to use it for.  Is that...by the way...covered by warranty? LOL!!  So basically now I have to spend an extra however much they cost just to update my graphics card.  Can't I just download a driver or something?  Guess I will just have to take back my game. wish I would have realized all this computer mumbo jumbo in the first place.  Thanks for your help

Fgross,

I don't know if T&L is only available with Nvidia video cards.
It may be a video standard that can be supported by all cards.
You should do some more research on www.google.com to see what exactly supports T&L.
It may simply be a matter of getting the latest drivers from www.ATI.com.
