Ive already set the resolution to the lowest quaity on every setting with 640 x 480 resolution. I even have the audio set to lowest quality. My processor is a Slot A AMD Thunderbird 750. I ran sandra lite arithmetic benchmark and my cpu performance is slighty higher than a 1ghz pIII. I have not been online once on my computer since the reformat.
