I am glad you got it fixed, I would recomend picking up an 8xagp card somewhere and then you will see a major difference in game performance especially if you have 1gb ram (2x512)
I am not sure about that, Do you have any benchmark links that prove this? I would like to know, Because a clan mate of mine In Mohaa/sh and myself had very simular systems he had a 64mb radeon 9000 4x and I had a 128mb radeon 9000 8x and I know I had more vid ram but I had frame rates over 125 he could barrly see 50 mostly 35-45. I had all the eye candy on and he had everything set to med/low.
