I say his ram: he only has 1024Kb (1Mb)

EDIT: My results at 800x600 with 4x Anisotropic Filtering. Dynamic Lights was 19 FPS.

Specs:
Win ME
1.2GHz AMD Thunderbird Athlon
256MB PC133 RAM
Direct X 8.1
GeForce 2 MX 64MB Card with 7772 drivers

Heh, I keep on making little mistakes... this is not good

.

I'm thinking of getting a Asus Gforce 6800LT, but ATM I can't afford that. And yes, Asus do do that video card

. I'm getting asus because that's what my board is... I figure there will be less conflicts that way

.

I get 38FPS with lights.

That's why AMD recently filed an antitrust lawsuit against Intel.

Now they're challenging Intel to a Dual-Core Duel

Imagine a duel processor/duel core machine

Do duel processor machines fair well in the gameing department?

Well, if the cores are really duelling, I doubt that the user would profit from it.

But dual core machines can have an impact if the game uses multithreading. For something like ZDoom this wouldn't mean much because the secondary threads don't consume much CPU load but for modern games it could mean a significant speed boost if used properly. One thread could run the game and another one the renderer so you'd be able to do much more complex stuff.

Good to hear. I really would have preferred to buy an Athlon. hopefully that situation will change...

my brother has an Athlon64 4400+ X2 and apart from benchmarks (which it totally slaughters), most games have some incompatabilty, example WoW has a huge freeze when loading the main city which did not happen when he had a 3500+ in.

@Lexus Alyus, which area in nottingham are you?

Lexus Alyus · Post by **Lexus Alyus** » Wed Aug 31, 2005 21:11

Yeah yeah yeah, enough of my mistakes for one day :p.

What about a dual processor setup with each processor possessing a dual core?

That would be pritty damn fast

.

there was a Dual core presscot (presscock

He He) EE that had Dual Core and HT (hyperthreading), but it was really a 2 bar electric fire

putting out about 150+W of heat :O

My System for teh win

, highest yet

Intel Celeron Processer (2.40 Ghz)
Intel Extreme Graphics Card (Ghetto, isn't it?

)
256mb DDR RAM

All for a pimpin' 11 fps.

I gotta change the RAM and the Gfx card.

The RAM isn't that big a problem - but you definitely need a real graphic card!
