Ah2 with at least 30fps. At 512 texture size. Here is specs. Amd athlon xp 2200+/512mb of corsair ram/40gb HD/chaintech mobo agp8x 3dimm/ 128mb nivid-128bit fx 5200. Only having theses specs for temparely. Are they alright and if i wanted to upgrade my cpu. And not my mobo, Could I do that or would i have to buy a new mobo to?

Better graphics card would work wonders, even a secondhand Geforce 4 4600 would help.

Another will my mobo http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc.asp?description=13-170-009&catalog=23&manufactory=BROWSE. Be able to handle this ram pc-3200http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc.asp?description=20-145-479&catalog=23&manufactory=BROWSE. My cpu FSB is 266. Does that mean I will have to use pc-2100 ram?

if you are not going to do any OC, i would not buy a corsair RAM, its much more expensive, and it will only be batter if you OC it.

allso dont build up your hopes for a high FPS on 512 tex. size
only if you get a batter graphics card

Jet just go get

asus A7N8X-E deluxe

or just a plain model A7N8X

Drop a 2400+ or 2500+ amd cpu in it

it will run off a single stick of ram or for best performance get dual sticks  (i have 3200 512 x 2 ddr in mine )

and a cheap 5200 gf card will get you buy just fine .

watch the sales for a hard drive my 80 gig was 50 bucks.

the nforce chipset mb is alot better then the via .

Alright got the 2500, And got a ati9600. Hope it goes well.

jet, I have a Geforce FX5200 128MB Video card, and with the omega drivers I average out at about 70-100 FPS in the air and about 40 in smoke and things on airfield.  But, then again i also have 2 gigs of memory.

I am just having this specs. For temparely Just to get to ah2. Then I will part by part upgrade. With graphics card first. Then probally ram. Then cpu.

Is it too much Instant Messaging that causes the "never use punctuation syndrome" and the "who cares if it's spelled correctly syndrome"?
