Man I need a new PC!!!

I'm actually running it on a system that is very underpowered. The only component I upgraded to be able to play it was the video card.

PIII 450
128 Mb RAM
Win 98SE
64 MB Radeon 7000
Old POS Soundblaster.

The game runs very slow at anything above 800x600 but I have it loaded with the highest resolution textures and it runs fine. I was also able to run it at 1024 resolution but it was choppy at times. Of course I'm not running any of the other video goodies and the sound breaks up once in a while. But heck, the game runs.

Dude, I'm getting a Dell.

Doc, you got problems with THAT!?!?!?!?!

That's ten times the machine i've got!

AMD XP1600
Win98
512MB PC133 RAM
GF3 32 MB generic card
SB32 AWE
UDMA100 Hard drive

I was able to run up to 1024 x 768 with 64MB textures, but I set it down to 800x600 with 32 mb textures because it was getting a little choppy, and am fine with it there.

THe only thing I can say is - perhaps winXP is causing problems, or at least is putting too much overhead on the game?

bleh i am about to nuke it and put win2k back on that bad boy. I think there is something going on amongst the drivers for the AGP controller and win xp as I get NV4_DISP.dll errors out the yang and i have the latest Nvidia drievers.

Working on this as my main workstation and then working on my sisters Duron 750 is like nite and day..no way i can go IDE ever again SCSI is the way to go...

N.W.N. Ad in Maxim Magazine

Have you people seen this? The ad in the Maxim Magazine for N.W.N. The illustration for the Nymph is absolutely awesome.

Does anybody know if they are using this same ad in other Magazines?

you can run it on that..make sure you update ALL of your drivers for that video card as it will be close..i think yoru video card will be your bottleneck there...

Just thought I would mentino my setup. I have a AMD k4 450 with a geoforce 2 64 meg and 327 ram. I have been playing on the lowest setting possible. Today, I punhced up everything. 64 meg textures and everything. I lowered the quality down one nothc, so it didn;t slow down too much. It ran like a well oiled machine. It is a bit slow and choppy (But that is because it is 4 a 450) but I have the graphics pumped up, and it didn;t slow down anymore than usual.
I cant play movies though.
