You need to tell us the form factor of your 380. Is it a desktop or MT, or SFF?

the recommended gpu is nvidia GT420

Age of Empire 2 requirements

System Requirements

Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo Memory: 4 GB RAM. Graphics: NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 420 or ATI™ Radeon™ HD 6850 or Intel® HD Graphics 4000 or better with 2 GB VRAM. DirectX: Version 11

PS typical cpu for 380 is Core2 duo E8400 at 3.0 GHz. RAM is 8 GB max. in MT you install full height card. in DT you are limited to low profile card.
