Buck531 Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 I'm not upgrading the PC to play a game.. I'm done with that. I'll just upgrade the video card for now. Anyways.. it's an AMD 3200 (2.1 mhz). 1 gig of ram. basic crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, this card may be decent for your application: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814133172 I would also strongly recommend just one more gig of ram. You can get a gig for pretty cheap now, in addition to a new video card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMeanGreen Posted December 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 That's strange, Shawn. I played the shit outta HL2 on full graphics with my Nvidia GeForce4 5950 Ultra, although it was slightly overclocked. This was with 1GB of PC3200 RAM and an overclocked AMD 2500+ Barton core CPU. EDIT: You wanna borrow it and try it? That PC is sitting in the corner not doing anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I installed the orange box and Episode 1, 2 and TF2 sucks worse then Jones does. it doesn't make sense. And even if I turn everything to low or off, it still does it. It's still shitty. Even going to 800x600 gives the same problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
