ok i bought half life 2 and it didint work. Fair enough since here is my specs:
Celeron 1.8
256 ddr
radeon 8500 (latest driver)
some gay soundcard
XP Pro Corp
and i have been having problems before running games. I thought of getting a new processor since celerons tend to kill game performance.
No-where on the box or the manual does it say my motherbaord supports ht(hyperthreading) technology. But i still would like the big fsb (saves me from overclocking). I was looking at the pentium 4 2.8 ghz 800mhz fsb. But i noticed all of them have ht in them. So if i buy one of them and slap it in my computer will it be able to run at all??(i think so) and will it be able to use HT?? (my guess is no). My alternative is buying one of those 2.6 ghz computers but i noticed it only has 500 or something fsb. I am not really keen on buying anything more than the 2.8 ($200) but i am not sure it is worth it if i cant run ht.
What would be your recomendation without buying a new computer/other hardware. And yes. Before playing games i close down all unneccesary background apps. And i ahve configed the graphics settings ont he game to the lowest and the device settings to high performance (not quality). I have tweaked everything i can.
