Watch out for PSU quality. Since it's a store bought computer the PSU is probably maxed out already.

Diamond makes a 256 meg HD 2400 DDR2 PCI card that only requires a 200 watt PSU. I saw it at microcenter.com. It is pricey though, $89.99. I've noticed that ATI cards have lower power requirements than nvidia cards. A pc from 2004 should have at least a 250 watt psu. My HP from 2002 had a 250 watt psu and my IBM from 2005 has a 300 watt psu. I added video cards to both of them with no adverse affects. The IBM has a PCI-e x16 slot though.
I tried editing that file, but when I played the game, all I could here was some introductory music, but had a black screen. What else should I do?

The file I edited was agds.cfg to videomode=1024x768x16.

You should buy a new computer.
Yes, it’s my fault.
Try rolling back your drivers to 93.71

Will you stop repeating that nonsense? It doesn't help at all. Here are the game requirements:
800 MHz Pentium III
128 MB RAM
32 MB 3D video card
DirectX 9
And here are the specs of my Windows 98 machine:
750 MHz Pentium III
512 MB RAM
32 MB 3D video card
DirectX 8.1
Slightly below minimum requirements, and surprisingly (or not), the game works perfectly smooth.
@glyco0: have you tried to disable edge smoothing and shadows in the options menu?
Don't forget to reset videomode=1024x768x32 in agds.cfg file.
Thanks for the suggestion of the 93.71 driver! That did the trick!
