Upgrading video cards is your only option. A geforce2 MX 400 is a pretty
old card, and it was pretty entry level even in its day.

While you can get away with a modern entry level card, a title like EQ2
really benefits from something a little stronger.

You dont, you buy a new card.

Here's a massive list of video cards from the past few years, listed
from best to worst. You'll find that card way down at the bottom.

What CPU do you have? If it's as old as that video card you might be
able to get an old (good) card to match it, very cheap from ebay.
