  1. my pc aint fast and i play cs:s and kill people with better machines than me.

    i only have an xp1800 ,512mb pc2100 and a radeon 8500 64mb.

    been playing at 1024x768 with most the settings on medium like the game suggests for my hardware.

  2. sounds like a hardware conflict of buggy graphics card drivers to me.

    try moving one of your pci cards so there is a gap between agp and the 1st pci card.

    try moving your pci cards to different slots.

    i would guess your graphics card and sound card are sharing resources or something.

    if your sound card is directly below your agp card move it down a slot further so there is a free pci slot below the graphics card.

    dont know about more recent mother boards but some of the older ones the agp slot and pci 1 share resources more often that not.

    i really doubt its an OS problem

    could be that one of your ram sticks is borked aswell theres a dos program that you can use to check your ram but i cant remember what its called.

    im sure someone will reply with its name and download location.

    also make sure you have the latest drivers for your motherboard.

  3. if you have all the creative software installed try uninstalling it all and then installing again but only install the drivers not the other crap.

    windows sound settings maybe conflicting with the creative one's.

    i know when i used to use the creative control panel thing windows used to have a habit of changing the windows sound settings from 5.1 to desktop speakers and often the wave output in the volume controls kept beeing turned down to half way and making some games sound like crap.

    other than that try a better software for playing your DVD's i dont know which is best but i like cyberlinks powerdvd.

  4. i've found this today "in" google :P
    How to boost your Doom3 performance by 40% on ATI hardware

    Download this file:

    http://esprit.campus.luth.se/~humus/temp/d...rmanceTweak.rar

    Extract so that the shader file goes under doom3\base\glprogs. This replaces a dependent texture read with equivalent math, which runs better on ATI cards, but seems to run slower on NV boards, so only apply this if you got an ATI card.

    Save the file and close your text editor. WinRar will ask if you want to update the file in the archive, select yes. Close WinRar and enjoy about 40% higher performance in Doom3. Haven't done extensive testing yet, but my performance went from 34fps in 1280x1024 to 48fps.
    full discussion

    only for 9700+

    btw its 14% and was done by some guy who makes the ATI technology demo's you can find on the ATI website

  5. heh what an explanation, they're going to use 2 pci-x slots for graphics, both graphics card will be the same and be working at the same time!!! with intel mb.

    you could do that wiht normal PCI card's age's ago rich people used to buy 2x voodoo card's and link them with an sli cable.

    so its not really something new and innovative just something that has not been possible while GFX card's have been using AGP slot's of which mobo's only have one

  6. just saw this mentioned on another forum and thought some people might be intrested in trying it out.

  7. i tried chrome and thought it was boring after a few level's ,i got as far as the mission where you have to disable the sam site's and get inside the space station to steal some data (a code for some encrypted data i belive)

  8. im not suprised the game is messed up after all it was going to be for pc then they decided to take the pc code and make it xbox code then they ported back to the pc wheres the logic in that? :)

  9. I got the game today and I must say Im very impressed ,I didn't belive all the hype surounding this game as it usually just makes me feel disapointed when I eventually get my hand's on a game thats been really hyped up and it turn's out to be total crap.

    The graphic's are pretty good and the pixel shading effect's are really well done ,the physics engine completly put's other recent games to shame and the rag doll effect's on people you kill and yourself if you are unlucky :) are very nice looking and more believable than in most games.

    I've only played as far as the fourth level but the story line look's like its going to be better than the original game. i suggest anyone who liked max payne get there hand's on the sequel as soon as they can :rolleyes:
