Alas my system is outdated and I am just recovering from being out of a job for 11 months so I cant really afford to upgrade
the 180 us bux or so it would take feeds my wife and kids for about two weeks or makes a car payment .

see everyone in six months to a year or so .

that is if the htc crew doesnt up the anti even more by then


<S> to all


and farewell

Guys, wait for the patches.  I've been here long enough to know there is a fps hit with every new version.  It is mostly resolved by the time the patches are out.  Now IMO there is a bug with the ground clutter in 1.08 (& 1.081) that causes a big fps hit.  If I'm right there will be barely any fps hit if it's fixed.

Here's the system list

type 7 socket mobo with a cyrix 400 chip
overclocked to about 525 mhz

96 meg of ram
a 8 meg stealth 2000 vid card
monster 2 12 meg graphics accelerator card

no agp port on this mobo so any vid cards i get would need to be pci slot

was getting frames comparable to midnights

10 in smoke  25 in clear sky  

if anyone who has parts that can help email me at skrbrofr@mindspring.com

or rodle@racenter.com my work email

When you get out of jail, ask Animal for life advice. Not only does he have a extra stick of 64 RAM, hes a real good financial go-to guy.

I've got a 3DFX Voodoo3000 PCI and a Cougar PCI 32mb card I can part with for whatever you can afford.  They just sitting there under the desk gathering dust.
