I just put a Radeon 7000 into my brother-in-law's machine. He's got a Celery 600mhz with 64megs of ram. Now Medal of Honor locks up on him and has really crappy frame rates. I haven't installed the latest Radeon drivers yet. So here are my questions:
1.)Will the newer Radeon drivers make that huge of a difference?
2.)Is it possible that his monitor can't handle things? Sometimes it goes blank and the led just blinks like it can't support the refresh/synch rate. (When I first installed the card Windows would load, but the monitor would switch off so I had to hook my monitor up, go in and set refresh to "adapter default" and then hook his monitor back up...is the game changing refresh rates on us?)
3.)Even if he has a pretty crappy machine, shouldn't a hardware-accelerated video card help his gameplaying out some?
Thanks in advance!
