I would first upgrade the video card, then maybe consider a processor upgrade. Should be able to with a P3 system board go up to 1ghz. You have plenty of ram.

I agree with Mange, upgrade that video card, if your stuck for cash go for a Ti-200, otherwise do either an ATI8500 or a Ti-500.

Processor won't last for much longer though, Doom 3 is on it's way and that processor will take one look and run away screaming.
Personally I'd grab a 1.6 GHz AMD Palomino, but some people are rabid intel fans, if so get as fast a P3 as you can get, or if your rich a 2.2 GHz Northwood Core P4.

Could someone please help me deciding what I should change on my pc so MohAa wil run fine,
my specs are
Pentium 3, 600 Mhz
384 MB RAM
TNT2 Pro 3d card
68 GB HD

RTCW, Serious Sam 2, Red Faction & Commandos 2 all run fine in 1024*728 resolution, but mohaa doesn`t even run fine in 800*600 with the options to normal and/or minimum
Does someone has advice to change this or advice to upgrade something from my pc??
I really would appreciate some help!!!

A tnt2 is a little weak for this game I think. I think you'd see a huge increase in gameplay with a g3 or a radeon.(if ur will to shell out the dough)

I recommend getting a Geforce 3 Ti 200 (the Ti 500 is only 15% faster than the Ti 200) and a new processor. If your computer was produced in a factory (Hewlett Packard, Compaq, etc.) you should not upgrade to an Athlon, but get a faster P3 or P4 instead.

I would concur with most of you. But I MIGHT:

Upgrade the CPU first--then the v/card. What abt the video card upgrade bottlenecking the cpu?

Yes i agrea get a GF3 ti 200 !!! you cpu should be fine for a while...but I'd recomend uping it to a 1gig if you can

Ti-200 won't bottleneck a CPU, Ti-500 will a little, but not enough to notice. Also if the computer is a HP or Dell, etc than you won't be able to upgrade much period. The proprietary crap they stuff in won't let you do much, and most of them have next to no room. Upgrading to a P4 will require a new Mobo, remember Rambus, so the AMD would still be an option if the mobo has to go anyway. The only P4 I'd touch would be the Northwood core anyway stay away from the 2GHz, I've seen some places selling Willamettes as Northwoods, cheap bastards. A 2.2 is guaranteed to be a Northwood. Still wait a few more month's, the Hammer is coming!!

Well i just over clocked my ThunderBirt drom 1000mhr to 1300 and i got about 15 frames per sec out of it it.

3dMark Score went from 5123 to 5826.
So yes m8, a 1gig CPU Is! a bottle neck for the TI200.

I have seen ppl with a XP1700 gething 30 frames a sec more then me on most tests, so even a 1,3gig is a bottle neck.

Hell I have a TNT2 and the SP demo ran nicely for me. No problems. I think a processer would help though.

hmm, my computer is from Packard Bell and when I bought it (I didn`t knew so much from computers back then) they told me there was room to upgrade it :S
anyway, I don`t have a lot of money (I`m only 15 years old) to upgrade my pc. Right now I have 250 Euro for my pc upgrade.
What shall I do? shall I save for more money, buy the geforce 2, or ... what??

fireman · 01-19-2002, 09:13 AM

I have a PB computer too ( When I bought it, i didn't know much about computers either, so that explains things)I hope you can get a Geforce 3, cause my Pb computer didn't have an AGP slot. O, btw I couldn't upgrade my processor either, so I hope for you that you can. PB sucks.
