I am currently getting around 20 – 25 fps in crowded fights is this average? If not what could I do to my machine to increase my fps? What is the average fps? I have no problem staying on someone’s 6, however unloading all guns on them and no pings. I think this and my low FR are related?

Compaq Presario
350 PII
288 RAM
ADT Rage LT Pro

Win 98

Would a new video card help my FR? More RAM? New Computer

?

I'm getting that FPS with a PIII-800EB, consider yourself lucky!

what resolution are you flying at?

it may help to lower it a bit, especially if you are using 32bit color.

PII's are about the minimum required for AH to "work". So, you may want to consider saving up, then upgrade the system motherboard, CPU and Video card.

Rip, what hardware do you have, and what res do you fly at?

Running 16bit color. My mouse dosen't work in 32bit mode. The mouse moves super slow!

Res is 800 x 600. If I run a lower res I can't read the darn Clipboard. Actually at 8 x 6 I can't read it very well either.

A new CPU and video card at least.
