Not being 'Supported' doesn't mean it won't work.

Exactly. People have reported success with GF 5200 and 5500 video (PCI and AGP) as well as slower CPUs. And I'm running fine on Windows 2000 Pro OS as well. One important point is that GeForce 4xxx and older cards will not work at all even if they are otherwise faster than some cards that do work. Also, the PCI versions of Radeon 9200 and 9250 apparently do not work even though the AGP versions do.

It actually doesen't even require a 128mb video card...it runs perfectly (90fps on low settings/ 1280*1024) on my 64mb 9500.
