Sounds like my 900 MHz Thunderbird computer, with a G-force2 32 MB Video card is a little outdated. :eeeeeh:
Sounds like a hellofa computer. And about the Radeon 9600 Video card. It's not the best that is made today, but I would think it's sufficient for most games. k: |

The 9600 SE will run everything just fine and it will look a lot better. It cost a little more but it still beats a GF4MX400 64MB card so I choose it.

Hmm. I just checked my computer stats, and found out, that it only have an 800 MHz processor. My memory is getting bad.
Well. When I get the money, I will probably buy a new one. But what the hell, it can still run all the games on abandonia. |

That's why last winter I bought two P3 - 450MHz @ $60. I gave one to my father in law and other one I use for some old games.
If that's to fast, then there is one P90 with DOS and WFW3.11. |

Again, I would buy ATI 9800 PRO because good card is always good card. When I bought my current computer, I was about to buy a crappy one but I thought that why upgrade it later when you can buy it now. It saves time and money.
My specs if you are intrested: AMD Athlon 3200+ (2.2GHz) ATI 3dClub Radeon 9800 PRO 128mb MSI K8T-Neo 1024Mb memory I've been very pleased with my computer. Every game runs without lag. Doom3 for example runs fine with high settings (althought I haven't played that crappy game) |

I will start shopping for a new videocard in the new year. I don't know whether or not I will buy a 9800Pro then. I might buy a 6600 or a X700 if they are priced sufficiently nice by then. Both have been tested well above the 9800PRO now. The X700 only has a PCIe version at the moment and I need a AGP one but it should arrive by January 1st.
update: I have ordered my computer including two Maxtor 120GB SATA drives. The videocard I ordered was no longer available so I had to settle for an even worse one. Radeon 9550SE 128MB. It's only for a few months.

Update:
Well that bad little videocard I wanted was not longer available anymore even though they advertised it on their site. At first I was going to get stuck with an even worse card (9550 SE) for the same amount of money but after some more browsing I cancelled that order and am now getting a Radeon 9600 PRO. Still not a really good card but at least I will be able to play Doom3 without blushing. It does cost 25 Euro's and an hours drive more then the old one but I think it is worth it. Hopefully I will have all the components before the weekend. If not it will be shortly afterwards.

l had some luck with computer components yesterday. I live in a tiny town where the only shops are a real estate agency, a bakery and a petrol station. However a few streets away a man operates a small computer business from his house. I dropped around and noticed a new midi keyboard - still in the box. It's called Prodikeys and is put out by Creative to be used with a SoundBlaster or Audigy card. http://au.creative.com/products/product.as...34&product=9389
Someone had ordered it with a new system, put a deposit on it, but never picked it up. He let me have the keyboard for $150.00. Normally it retails for at least $200 Australian. I'd read about Prodikeys on the Creative website and had drooled over it for ages. I wouldn't mind your new system as well, Picard. Especially the AMD64 3400+ |
