Question Force Antialiasing program

Is there any program that do that? Ex: Force Anti-aliasing for direct draw games like The sims, VGS... (BTW, I have a onboard sis620 video card )

No.
a) Your card must support FSAA, which you then enable in the card's control panel.
b) VGS and The Sims use Directdraw, not D3D. that's a 'software' rendering mode.

Apparently my GeForce 2 MX400 has 4x AA. But I don't think it is FSAA.

Well actually Voodoo3 cards offer edge aliasing in the drivers, "but" its not quite the same as Full Screen Anti Aliasing. some cards prior to the FSAA offer edge aliasing.

Yes, average guy it does, but it's quite poor quality in comparison to newer cards or the Voodoo 5.

average guy don't buy a geforce 2 Ti for FSAA,

And people don;t shoot me. If you want a "cheap" card with good FSAA, Then a get a geforce 4 MX or maybe a Radeon 9000.

Chrisray. Geforce 4 and Radeons 9000 are no cheap cards, they are quite expensive,....... A cheap card would be a Geforce II or Radeon 8000 ( or 7000 , i am not sure) . but if you are really looking for good FSAA then Geforce III and above / Radeon 9000 and above could do that.......

A GeForce 4MX costs less than 50 quid. That's a cheap card.
