Beautiful shots! I definate jump in graphics power there! Now all you need is 256MB of video memory.. :P


Duron 1.4GHz Proccessor
512MB DDR Ram
20GB Hardrive
56K Modem
Windows 98 SE

With specs like that, Triple_7's not going to get the best from his FX5200 never mind a 256MB variant.  

His best way of gaining more performance would be to replace the Duron CPU with an Athlon CPU (Assuming his motherboard supports one...) that, combined with Windows XP & another 512MB of system RAM would give him very good results indeed.

That said, from what I can see, Triple_7's getting great results and has chosen a card thats well matched to his system.
I cannot emphasise enough,however, the performance differance over Windows 98 when you upgrade to XP, it is well worth the cost of the new O.S. and food for thought if your looking to improve things even further still. ;)

I have the same graphic card...still you need to check your configs...click with the right button in the desktop....dont use antialiasing in the game just in the graphic card settings....and i suggest you to go at the bios setup and look for agp aperture size....the default is 64mb ....but this option is used to onboard graphic cards or when the 128mb card exeed its capacity....so it stole some memory of your ram.....you dont need 64 as agp aperture size...put something about 16 or 8 make some attempts and you will see some difference...to me it works....good luck

thanks for all the replys... ;D

I now feel like an idiot after discovering the problem... When i first booted up the computer with the new card in it did a suposed full install and when i put in the CD it said everything was already installed       but after i thought about it for a minute i relized it probably didnt       so i reinstalled the drivers and there it was     it had only done a half install insted of a full       so...Problem solved      

there will be some more screenies here in the next couple days ;)
