    Will this game run on this configuration?

    Maybe, but that's a BIG maybe. It just about ran on an 845 w/ a 2.4G procy and 1gig of RAM. So..u might get around 10 fps if ur lucky, if it runs in the first place. Tho be warned that I'm not aware of the capabilities of the VIA chipset u've mentioned..If u know how it measures up against the...

    Will this game run on this configuration?

    Yes, and a bit more than that. Yup. And all the games u listed but with the 'bling' turned down, depending on the age of the game. Heck u can even play QIV on it - depending of course on the framerates u can tolerate. Abt the drivers, don't take my word for it but it might not make a big...

    Havok FX Engine to Compute Physics Effects on GPUs

    Doesn't sound too good. Like GPU's rn't taxed already..neway we'll have to wait and watch. Can't really say anything for sure until it actually comes out. A discrete PPU still sounds better though..

    HL2 Lost Coast Screenies.............

    Swweeeet pics. :P I ran it @10x7,2x/16x on a 3200+ w/ a 6600 and 512megs. :) 15-20 fps. My older comp's trained me for these framerates so I'm perfectly comfortable in this zone. ;) Some screens (also posted @SKOAR): Startup, OUCH!, Valve's Comparo, Water, Mr.Fisherman, Mr. Fisherman...

    Will this game run on this configuration?

    No it runs pretty well actually with enough RAM, but with a nice dosage of graphical glitches (especially with the water and some of the more complicated textures that do refraction and all). Framerate would largely not be a problem but in large or complicated levels, there would be some...

    Another "Help me upgrade" thread

    He-he. I know it sounds kinda contradictory. :) But then the SiS thing was the best I cld have (given my budget then) with a PIII system. The visual quality was terrible to say the least, but atleast, it worked. What I could tolerate was the speed @ which it was going, just about in the double...

    Another "Help me upgrade" thread

    Well I might OC maybe 1 year down the line when I want to extract more juice. I said "not in the near future" cuz I didn't want suggestions like "get this cheaper procy and OC it to that". That's all. Besides, I'll be upping the RAM in a couple of months so I'm sticking to the 256 megs. A...

    First Game

    Well technically the first game I played was a DOS side scrolling space shooter called Zatax. Dave and Prince followed, but all of these were on school comps, and I cld only play these for 20 maybe 30 mins. max. The first REAL game (as in FULL, and on my own comp) I played was Q3A. :P

    Microsoft Windows: The End of "My" in "My Computer"

    Duh? How does it matter. Except My Comp I don't even look @ the other folders neway. And in ne case even if they called it Your Computer or Not My Computer I wldn't care. Anybody wldn't! Hell how-does-it-matter? Geez. Needless to say this must have been laboriously documented and entered into...

    ur fav game

    I don't think it's fair enuf to compare NFS to MotoGP. They r different kinds of games, with completely different USPs. NFS's main draw is..umm...uhh..well I guess we all play it cuz it's the most popular four-wheel racing sim. :D MotoGP on the other hand offers a gr8 degree of realism...

    Old 64 meg stick

    Well the 128 is perfect, atleast everything works on it beautifully. Probably something with the 64. I'll check it and post the results later. :) But still why should one particular app trigger such a landslide? An MPlayer @ that. :?

    Old 64 meg stick

    Well it gave me a few problems when coupled with my 128 meg one. All games etc. played normally, but when I started up MPlayer Classic the system rebooted, and then went on and on. Then I thought there was some problem with the XP install, or a virus perhaps, so I reinstalled XP. But then there...
