I'd get another 2 gigs of ram and try running it in 16bit color instead of 32bit color.
Widow mode is always easier on the machine.
yeah i was thinking of getting the extra 2 gigs.....and ill try changing the mode thanks radar man
well changed it to 16 and much better hitting around 24fps but in fullscreen mode so i guess im just going to have to get the extra ram this weekend....thanks again
Let us know if the extra ram does the job.
yeah i talked to my friend at super geeks and he said it will help also a upgrade in my vid card but that can wait for now....main thing is the ram up to 4gig 😀
A better card will help with the fps but as you say, the ram is cheaper now and will help all around.
ok put in some new ram yesterday finally......2 sticks of 2g @800 so now i have 4g of rams and what do you know i can fly in full screen,in 32bit, and with everything maxed out again.....oh and locked at 30fps just were i like it to be
That's fantastic, a nice cheap way of getting ahead of the game.
yup next time new vid card
