Hey, posted here for some build advice a while ago and ended up getting the parts.
Ended up with these specs:
Pentium III 450, GF2 MX400, 128mb ram, Intel SE440BX
The drivers I'm using for the gpu are Detonator 45.23 (saw this recommended a good bit), and I have DirectX 7 installed.
In 3DMark 99: 2100~ 3d marks, 6800 cpu 3d marks
3DMark 2000: 1700~ 3d marks
I'm having trouble running games like Half Life and Quake 3 at a stable framerate (at 640x480 even).
I thought since the gpu was a low end card from 2001 I would at least be able to run games from 00' and earlier.
Are my system specs more suited for earlier games, or am I being bottlenecked by my CPU or GPU?
Anyone else have a similar setup?
