Im not a big expert with performance when it comes to games and all that, but i was thinking that a 450MHz, with 220mb of ram, with a 32mb ati radeon would at least produce a bearable framrate in like MOST games. But my computer runs horribly on even the simplest games. Even games that only require 16mb to operate. What the hells up with that? Its a 450MHz AMD k6-2 if that helps... I dont really know what kind of motherboard that i have. I was thinking that maybe that was the problem, but i dont even know how to find out what kind, or what bus speed i have. Can anyone help me?
What i have noticed, is that my games slow down when there are a lot of textures on the screen. In games like diablo, it runs fine until lots of monsters run onto the screen. And with games like oni, or rouge spear, i can be in a small room and it will run really nice, but when i walk outside, everything goes to crap.
ANOTHER thing that i have noticed, is my computer seems like its bottlenecked. I can run just about all of the newest game titles with the highest graphic settings, even in 1280x1024x32 and they will run really good provided i have the right circumstances (noted above). Its only when it has to display lots of textures, is when it goes bad. What causes this?? Processer? Motherboard? These are the only two things i can think of.
