Intel Pentium 500Mhz, ATI Rage Fury Pro 128

I can't play a damn thing. This is how bad it is. You know how you
can play a game on a slow computer and since the animation is jerky,
and the response is slow, the game is unplayable? Well, my computer
is so slow, that many games I buy today don't even start. Roller
Coaster Tycoon 3 popped up a window "You're graphics card is
inadequate. Press exit."

I bet Solitaire works pretty well on it.

You do know that you could get a new video card that whomps all over
that one for <$50, right?

Would it be able to play RCT3 <$50? And what graphics card do you have
in mind? I mean, I don't want to spend $49.99 for a graphics card, go
through the trouble of installing it and finding drivers that are
probably lost in the internet only to have RCT3 pass it's video card
hardware check and pop up a window stating "You're CPU is inadequate.
Press exit." :)

2x intel XEON 3GHz and a PNY Verto Geforce 6600GT 128MB PCIe at the
moment (soon to be replaced by a ATI FireGL V5100)...

Well, all those questions depend on some things...

What's your motherboard? Does it have an AGP slot, and if it does, how
fast/what voltage is it? You should be able to find this information on
the m/b manufacturer's website. As for drivers, any new video card you
buy will come with a CD of drivers, and possibly some extra software -
maybe a game or a DVD player app. If you wanted the latest/best
drivers, you'd probably want to download something, but again, the mfg's
site should have what you need.

HTH,
-joe.

CPU...Pentium 4 Northwood C 2.8GHz (2 years old next month)

Video Card...built-by-ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB (25 months old)
Click to expand...

Same here. Thinking of an upgrade to dual core AMD and 7800GT for work and BF2. Not waiting for M2 as I am willing to reuse 2GB DDR RAM.
 
Athlon 64 3000, GeForce 6800 GT 256mb, 2gig pc400 ram.
Its about 1 year old but I can still run all games except for battlefield 2 with no problems.
 
AMD X2 4200+
MSI K8N-Neo2
evga 6800gt
2gb (4x512mb crucial ballistix)

runs everything like a champ maxed at 1280*1024 but will probably go pci-e next year when ATI and nVidia duke it out for a while and the 7800gtx's come down in price...or maybe 7800gt's in sli...who knows...but i will never go ATI cause ATI IS CANADIAN CRAP, BLAME CANADA! :evil:
 
Having a hard time making the move to PCI-e as my AGP card works-a-dandy and am able to play all the games I enjoy at 1280*1024 with high settings (CoD, CoD2, Far Cry, Serious Sam2, Max Payne 1&2, Painkiller, and the MOH series) with no lag, drag, or otherwise annoying slow down.
 
If its of any interest
Pentium D dual core 3.2Ghz, nVidia SLI, Dual 7800GTX, 2Gb of RAM to boot, lovin bf2 at he mo and u cant beat a good old frag on CS:S!! see u all there!
RMP will never get me!!
 
Asus A8R-MVP, current BIOS 4.02
Opteron 175 ~ 939-pin CPU
ThermalTake BigWaterSE
4x512MB Corsair Xpert Twinxp1024-3200xl (spd 2-2-2-5)
HiS X1800XT 512MB Video Card
ATI Theater Pro 550
2x74gig Raptor ~ RAID0 boot drive
2x250gig SATA2 WD SE16 ~ (data and scratch disk)
Plextor 716AL slot load 16xDVD burner
Antec True Power 550watt PSU
Lian Li PC-60plus Black Aluminum case
Lian Li TR-3B ~ 3.5” LCD fan control/thermometer
Dell 2405FPW ~ 24” LCD monitor
9-n-1 USB Memory Card Reader
PCMCIA Card Reader ~ PCI bus, 3.5” bay
 
xp2200+, 9800 AIW.

i loved it for three years, now I hate it. I need to part with money, ASAP. all this, because one day I cranked up my settings on BF2, and looked at how the game should be played, and barely recognized it.
 
my old rig:
Intel 850e with 1 gig 1066 RD Ram, P-4 socket 478 3.06, Raid 0 with 2 15k Ultra 320 36 gig total with an IDE backup drive, page file and games one the scsi of course, Sound Blaster Audigy 2, XT850 PE (agp) with a 2005fp Dell monitor. Was bad ass machine even smoked the pci express for a while cause the RD ram was so much fast than all the others. Now it is still a cool pc, but dated.
New Rig:
Intel Pentium D 3.0 (930) with 4 megs cache
Intel 975x based MB Asus P5WD2-E Premium 975x
2 Gigs DDR2 PC800 Patriot 240p
Dual 1900xt, one is 1900 crossfire, both have 512 ram
Dual Sata (weak) 10K WD740 GD in raid 0
250 gig samsung sata backup drive
Soundblaster X-Fi Xtreme
Aluminum LL Black case with 2 fans
Cooler Master Hyper 48 cooler
FSU GROUP FX600-GLN 600W PSU
and I will steal my dvd and stuff from my other unit. I will still be using the Dell 2005 fp, but 2 of them, I forgot I had one in a box never opened and I think this video setup will display 2 monitors well, probably not in gaming mode though.
Thanks for letting me brag about my new toy. Regards, James

What's the CPU and videocard on your current gaming rig?
Click to expand...

My signature will spell it out. I love the Pentium D-930. It runs cool, overclocks great, is very fast, and swamps about everything in sandra.
 
Uhh... Well at this EXACT moment I have an A64 4000+ @ 2.6GHz, 2GB DDR500 memory (2x1GB) and an ATI RAGE II+ DVD w/tv tuner. I'm testing it out to see if I can actually do normal PC stuff on it, was hopeful about the tv tuner, but its a no-go with XP.

This is because I'm gonna sell my XFX 7800GTX 256MB 490/1300 (factory OC), and hold out for the new nvidia cards :twisted:
