I am new to the site so just want to say hi first, and that I have read a lot of the threads here and they have been very helpful, about things to look out for. I ordered the game and am waiting to recieve it but I have read that people have experience problems with video cards. I currently have an ATI Radeon 9200 and I was wondering if that card would work with this game. Was thinking of preventing a problem so I could dive right into the game when I get it. Thanks for any help with this.

I'd reccomend updating your video drivers, here (http://www.ati.com/support/driver.html) (I'd be more specific, but I don't know what OS you are running).

Yes, your card will work, as it supports Transform & Lighting (T&L), which is required to run CotN. As Hans suggests, update driver if it is more than a few months old. Just make sure you get the copy that works with Windows XP (http://www.ati.com/support/drivers/winxp/radeonwdm-xp.html?type=xp&prodType=graphic&prod=productsXPdriver&submit.x=8&submit.y=6).
