I am unsure what you are asking. It sounds like you are asking if somebody can provide you some type of download which would increase your system hardware specifications to a level which would enable ease of running Spore. You are aware that these are hardware requirements, not some type of driver that you could add to your system which would boost your systems capabilities? Drivers do not increase what you already have, they only allow for communication between the hardware component and the Operating System. Drivers can also offer features and compatibility with newer hardware if you upgrade a component.



What you need to do is upgrade your graphic card to the specification needed to run Spore. There are often sales which allow purchase of a decent mid-level graphic card. In addition to the store sale there are often also a manufacturer rebate which increased the amount of savings significantly. Watch for sales in your local hardware stores, or research what you need and then shop around at Online stores, like New Egg. I prefer to shop in stores I can actually walk into because of ease of returns and the fact these types of stores do not charge up to a 15% restocking fee. I research products online and then look for sales at local stores.



You could go to your video graphic card manufacturer website and see if a new driver is available for that particular card. As you are running XP Home your card is probably considered obsolete and you would need to search the obsolete product section for appropriate downloads. It makes your task a bit harder but it can help sometimes which would make it worth your time and effort.



I hope you find what you are looking for, good luck and have a nice day.
