Try playing anything with a 4MB 2D card that I never heard of it. It was like a 13908710923 model 2D piece of crap.

[quote="MR. SPECIAL ED":49da9]Aside from the memory and video card, you're computer isnt THAT much crap. Unless you're editing videos and what not, 1.1 gig of CPU speed, should be enough. What you need to focus on now is a better vid card, 512 megs of memory, and another hard drive.

As far as HD's are concerned, you can get a 100gig HD for 100 bucks if you look for Buffer speeds of 2 megs to save 15-20 bucks. I got my ass a 100gig Western Digital for 80 dollars. And unless you are REALLY looking you arent gonna notice anykind of difference. I've had the computer running around in hoops looking for info and have yet to see a 75% change.

And if you have CABLE and AOL/DIRECT CONNECT look for ways of improving that Operating System (Although ME is pretty darn good).

I currently run:

AMD 1600 (runs at 1gig though, freezes up when I up the speed, might have to look into that - dunno much about changing speed in BIOS)
100gig Western Digital XP (replaced a 60gig that I used, abused, and mistreated for a year)
30gig Western Digital ME
640 megs SDRAM (I've yet to see a convincing argument for spending 40 dollars extra for DDR)
ASUS K75A motherboard
PACBELL DSL (900-1100 connection speed)[/quote:49da9]

Ehh !! 1600(XP ??) running at 1Gb ?!?!?! THE FUCKING HORROR !!!!!

Make sure your Heatsink and fan are securely hooked on. I dont know about you, but I got a program bundled with my mobo that allowed some degree of overclocking in Windows, the program is called "Fuzzy Logic". This is specifically an MSI mobo application, but you never know, it may work for your ASUS mobo...but I wouldnt count on it. Also there should have been some documentation with your mobo, included should have been info on core clock speed, vcore speeds and the such. Understanding these is important when overclocking. I could tell you how to do it, but I'd need to be looking at my BIOS at the same time, it's been a while since I was actually in there, (someone may have told you already...havent read this thread fully) so my memory is kind of hazy. You could check out [url="http://www.Tomshardware.com"]http://www.Tomshardware.com[/url] or ask some questions at http://www.guru3d.com. Both those places are full of information. Guru3d especially for overclocking.

To change the speed in the bios you need to go to advanced chipset features (I think) then frequency/voltage control (that I know for sure) then change the FSB to 133!! You'll be set then

Well, I don't use it for MOHAA but I have a:
Celeron 333MHz
96MB Ram
2 MB integrated 3d card
I had the Bigfoot drive also but I replaced it with a 20GB long ago.

I kept it so I could keep some of my older games that don't work well (or don't work at all) under Windows 2000

I use a P4 1.5 Ghz
512 MB Ram
32MB Geforce II for MOHAA, IL2, and other new games.
