Due to the inadaquacy of my TNT1 card I will be taking a non-scheduled, non-desired break from this great game.
After trying for several weeks to play in the new version I have decided that the bang for buck ratio is tilted bad by an avarage of 15fps.
Man it hurts cause I love the new features and clouds...
Time to build some models I guess...
Have a good summer all.

As the massive emotional response of the AH community pours in for your support Pongo, I'll make just a feeble attempt to navigate the heart felt responses and try to lend a hand.
My first thought-
Canada does besides impact NOTHIN globally via military, SELL computers,as in CPU’s, Video cards, and RAM? Yes?
Dude, buy a machine to support yer hobby.
I paid $180 US dollars ya Canuck, to make a 533 Celery burn AH to 60+ FPS, on AVERAGE.
At 806mhz its a dream, as is every software title I play. If I go to "look up view" in AH, its 80-90+ FPS.
You guys that piss and whine and have a million ideas as to what "image" and "reality" is, and can't front a gaming machine to run SWOTL are laughed at.
Worksome overtime for extra cash, or get a new job, whatever.
But stop yaking, errr, quiting like SAW with a family crisis every 4 days excuse,and moaning like HTC is unfair.
Jeez, to think a year 2000 hard core flight sim may take at least a 450mhz machine to run it, with a good graphics card.
Upgrade already.

Creamo,
Ah, nevermind...people like you can't be reasoned with.

Creamo, could you post that mugshot of you sitting in the co-pilots seat of that <737?> again? We needed a good laugh over on our squad BB...Thanks!

In keeping with my policy not to appease a flamer....
Hi creamo love you too!
The confusing use of the word "break" instead of "quit" in my message was meant to imply that I was coming back when my PC will cut it.
Well....I have a 366 cellery, OCd to 450.
Let me know what I should do!...
The TNT is only half the problem, I also only have 64mbs ram so I would likely have to boost that too.
So I figure 330(cdn) for a Gforce DDR card and 115(cdn) for 64mb of ram. I would think that that should do it.
I would rather just get a new machine and demote this one to my kids Civ II machine and likly will in a few months.
I just bought a new house(not that you care) and the extra little costs make a new system not doable right now.
I just cashed in 200 hrs of overtime to help with house costs....(not that you care again)
I also just moved nearer the Ocean and would like to get a bigger casting rod to wrestle with those salmon...(you might care about that...)
Lots of big houses in the new neiborhood. I guess I could do some B&Es and probably relieve some old foggie of his new video card..maybe put the TNT in his box..probaly never know the diff......hmmm Installing drivers in the dark can be difficult.
So never worry Creamy, I will be back soon to relieve you of that silk you are so fond of...
-
450mhz is plenty, yup, so the RAM/Vid Card is the prob. 128 is min, and the new GeForce is blazing.
64 RAM =$44
GeForce=$200ish
What picture Rip? If it's this one, it's a 757, not a 737. What's so funny about that?

Could you please post here the link to where I supposedly posted I'd pay your account if I ever "came back"? Thank you & best regards from planet Earth (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

I don't know who "Chester the Molester" is, but I can't see how anything concerning molesting has anything to do with me.
You are jealous of me in the cockpit of a real airplane, so moan away.
I only wear the hat with the Beck's beer label as a joke, Im glad you idiots laughed, it's funny.
SAW, pay my August bill, I need not prove it.

Pongo you are allowed to take a break... as long as you use the $30 per month savings to finance an upgrade. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Duel post
That's dual, not duel. A duel is "a combat between two persons".
Canada does besides impact NOTHIN globally via military, SELL computers,as in CPU’s, Video cards, and RAM? Yes?
For the life of me, I can't understand the meaning of that sentence.
Having learned written English first, spoken second, but being a lot more comfortable with written English, I have problems understanding people when their spelling is incorrect and their grammar is flawed. (Note that I'm not saying that I'm good at either.)
Seriously! What does the sentence mean exactly? (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/confused.gif)
(Not that [witnessing his boundless empathy and respect for others] I'm expecting an intelligent response from Creamo (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif) )

DrSoya, get outta my boat.
There is a size limit here in California, plus, there ain't room for you with RAM, Dripshorts, and SAW floppin around.

Upgrade complete
566 celeron II overclocked to 700mhz(couldnt quite get it to 850...
ASUS 6800 delux Gforce DDR with 3d glasses
196mb ram
frame rates ususlly in mid to hi 50s
smoke and clouds make absolulty no difference
For people that have a 400 class celeron and want to upgrade. The most signifigant thing is the video card, got the game going fine with just that alone.
