here is my crappy sys specs and ill tell u right now i run everything medium and higher except the curves and i get 60+ fps
1 gig amd duron(yuk)
256 megs pc133
16 bit pci sb
win 95
64 meg geforce 2 mx 400(not latest drivers newest ones are truly unstable)
the point of this is mohaa was built on the quake arena engine and that engine was meant for low end comp so alot of peoples probs are not system specs its how they are running them make sure when u have loads of slowdown all uneccesary proggies are closed u didnt mess with ur virtual ram or virtual mem let ur cpu handle that and a good piece of advice get away from pci video cards also not always the newest drivers are good for a game i remember in the days of df2 when the newest video drivers for a nividia card crashed into blue screen with df2 so dont be afraid to expierement but if u dont know what it is research it

i posted this in a earlier topic but i am not sure if most will see it plus i would like to see others input hopefully with this thread alot of people who dont know much can get some info and help from it

Im run all my games just fine on a pIII 450, 128mb ram, intel integrated chipset
i have learned many little hints and tips to make even monster games run good on my machine.
Its usually guys with small dicks who say this, but its true when it comes to pcs. "size doesnt matter, its what you do with it that counts".

I can't help about the shape I'm in, I can't sing I ain't pretty and my legs are thin. But don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to.

I have a 800mhz PIII
Nvidia TNT2 32MB Video
SB Live
256mb Ram

And i havent found a game yet that my comp couldnt handle. I wonder why kak's comp is strugglin. hmmm

whats so 'low-end' about his machine? dont forget that this quake III engine is over a year old. when it came out a 1Ghz machine with a 64 Mb vid card was rockin. you guys with your 'dude, you need to upgrade' comments need to learn how to tweak and maintain a machine better. anybody can buy a geforce 3 and an athlon XP 1600+, but it takes knowledge to get a game to run well on a machine with only average specs. I built a dual PIII 550 machine with a Geforce 2 pro 32mb and 256 mb pc100 for a buddy who does graphic design work and he plays the Omaha level with great FPS (40-60).

True Dat.

Handgrende you rock.

Any joe-smoe can keep upgrading and use (waste) their money to make a game work well. It takes skill to make it run on an older machine slower.

But, Hey its your money to burn as you see fit.

anything faster than 1gig should be able to run it no problem, the people who are having problems with that scare me a little... just a little. ya know what i'm sayin g? g? nevermind the monkey, he's with me....

lol im not struggling i am telling people out there who think they need to upgrade ill tell u this now i ran mohaa on a 233 mmx with 32 meg pci geofrce 2 mx 200 n 64 megs pc100 ram it only ran 25 fps but it ran my point is for people to give tips out to those who cannot afford to upgrade y would i want to upgrade there isnt a game i cannot run out on the market and my system will be able to run anygame easily for the next 3 years sure i might upgrade to 500 mg of ddr but thats a cheap and minor upgrade people dont have to waste hundreds of dollars i just built that machine by the way for 230 bucks all new parts the point of the original post for the ones who couldnt understand was it doesnt take brand new anything to run mohaa quake 3 was meant to run on a 233mmx or to the equal of its a low end comp i played quake 3 all the time on my old 233 even sof lol
