I’ll be the first to admit that I don't spend all my time tinkering with computers, and honestly, I'm far from being some kind of tech expert.
Would you mind breaking that down a little more simply for me?

But here is the info on the graphics card: RADEON 9250 AGP [0x5960]
DAC Type: Internal DAC[400MHz]
Memory: 128 MB
String: RADEON 9250
BIOS Info: BK-ATI VER008.017D.031.000

I’ve run into a bit of a snag here.
So, I just finished installing the game Spore.
The system requirements mention it needs 128 MB of video memory.
The thing is, I’m working with an older PC that hasn't been upgraded in quite a while, and my graphics card is sitting right at that 128 MB mark.
Every time I try to actually launch the game, I get hit with this error message:

Sorry, your graphics card is below our min spec.
The game will not run.
Please see the README for details.[2001]

Does this mean I'm stuck unless I go out and buy a new graphics card, or is there something else going on?
