Ok, I know...I'm a spaz when it comes to computer hardware and such. Question:

Do you ABSOLUTELY HAVE to have a video card installed on your comp to play N64 emus/roms?

If so...then, next question....

....I have an old emachine from like 8 years ago....I have Windows 98 (NOT second edition)....I have like 17 GB hard drive (used to have 4...upgraded a bit)....and a 128 MB RAM, Pentium 2 Processor...it operates at 366 mhz.....

.....what type of video card would I need to play games? And, I mean cool games....both n64 emulation, and ALSO real quality popular PC games? What card....and give me a specific....there's so many types and brands and such....what's a basic, cheaper card that will allow me decent gameplay and will fit with my crappy system???

Thanks so much for your assistance.
